About Tucson: Your Gateway to Tucson's Stories
Our Founding and Journey
Tucson was launched in 2017 with a vision to become the go-to news platform for the vibrant city of Tucson, Arizona. Founded by a team of passionate local journalists and tech enthusiasts, we set out to fill an information gap in the digital landscape of this diverse metropolis. What started as a modest online publication has since grown into a thriving community hub, keeping Tucson's residents informed, engaged, and connected.

Filling the Information Gap
Before Tucson, the digital news landscape in Tucson lacked a dedicated, locally focused platform. National news outlets often overlooked the city's unique stories, leaving a void that we aimed to fill. We recognized the need for a resource that celebrates Tucson's culture, highlights local initiatives, and provides a platform for diverse voices. By creating Tucson, we sought to bridge this gap and empower residents to stay informed about the issues, events, and people that shape their city.
