About Us: Welcome to Glendale
Our Journey and Founding
Glendale was born in 2017, with a vision to fill an information gap that had long existed in the digital landscape of Glendale and its surrounding areas. Founded by a team of dedicated journalists and tech enthusiasts, our website aims to become the go-to source for news, updates, and insights specifically tailored to our vibrant community.

Over the past few years, we've achieved remarkable milestones:
- In 2018, we launched our initial series of in-depth features, exploring local businesses and their impact on the Glendale community.
- By 2019, we had established ourselves as a trusted news platform, consistently delivering breaking news and analysis within minutes of events occurring.

Our Purpose and Mission
Glendale's mission is to empower residents by providing them with accurate, unbiased, and up-to-date information about their city. We strive to be the digital heart of Glendale, connecting people through news, events, and a sense of shared identity. Our purpose is to bridge the gap between the community and the digital world, ensuring that every resident has access to the resources they need to navigate and contribute to their city's progress.
Filling an Information Void
The internet, while seemingly all-encompassing, often lacks detailed and reliable information about local areas. Traditional media outlets have struggled to keep up with the digital age, leaving a void in terms of hyper-local news coverage. Glendale, with its diverse neighborhoods and unique character, deserved a platform that could showcase its stories, challenges, and triumphs—a platform like ours.
