About Phoenix: Your Trusted News Source
Our Journey
Phoenix was founded in 2017 with a vision to bring unbiased and accurate news to the heart of every community. In an era where information is abundant but not always reliable, we set out to fill a gap in the digital landscape. Our journey began as a passion project, driven by a team of dedicated journalists and technologists who shared a common goal: to provide a trustworthy news platform for Phoenix, Arizona, and beyond.
Over the years, Phoenix has evolved from a small, local news website to a thriving online community, covering a wide range of topics relevant to our readers. We've celebrated numerous milestones, including breaking ground on original investigative reports, achieving millions of page views, and expanding our team to include diverse voices and perspectives.
