About Tucson: Your Tucson News Hub
Our Story
Tucson was founded in 2015 with a vision to become the go-to news source for the vibrant city of Tucson, Arizona. We embarked on this journey to fill an information gap that we noticed in the digital landscape—a lack of comprehensive and locally focused news coverage. Our founders, inspired by the bustling spirit of Tucson, aimed to create a platform that would bring the community together and keep residents informed about the latest developments in their city.
Over the years, Tucson has grown from a modest startup to a thriving news website, becoming an integral part of the Tucson community. We attribute our success to our dedicated team, passionate readers, and a relentless pursuit of delivering unbiased and accurate information.
