About Us: Welcome to Glendale
Our Journey Begins in 2012
Glendale was founded in 2012 with a vision to become the go-to news source for the vibrant city of Glendale and its surrounding areas. We embarked on this journey to bridge the information gap that we identified within our community. Recognizing the power of digital media, we aimed to create a platform that would not only keep residents informed but also foster a sense of connection and engagement.

Our Purpose and Core Values
At Glendale, our purpose is to empower the community through accurate, unbiased, and timely information. We believe in:

Filling the Information Void
The internet, while a vast resource, often lacks localized, up-to-date information specific to Glendale's unique needs and events.
