About Queen-Creek
Our Journey Begins in 2012
Queen-Creek was born out of a passion for delivering accurate and unbiased news to the vibrant community of Queen Creek, Arizona. Founded in 2012 by a group of dedicated journalists and local enthusiasts, our mission has been to become the go-to source for all things Queen Creek.

Over the years, we've covered countless stories that have shaped the fabric of this wonderful community. From highlighting local businesses and their unique offerings to reporting on important community events and initiatives, Queen-Creek has been a constant companion for residents and visitors alike.
In 2015, we launched our mobile app, making it easier for readers to stay updated on the go. By 2018, we had expanded our team and started producing weekly podcasts, offering an engaging audio experience for our audience. In 2020, we celebrated a significant milestone—10 years of continuous service, solidifying our position as a trusted news outlet.

At Queen-Creek, we believe in the power of informed communities. Our primary purpose is to provide a platform that fosters open dialogue, connects residents, and empowers them with knowledge about their surroundings. We uphold the following core values:

Filling an Information Gap
The internet is brimming with information, but not all sources are created equal. We identified a gap in local news coverage that needed to be filled—a need for comprehensive, reliable, and up-to-date news specifically tailored to Queen Creek. Many national news outlets lacked the depth and focus required to capture the unique character of this community. Thus, we stepped in to bridge that gap.

We take great pride in our rigorous fact-checking process, which includes cross-referencing multiple sources and consulting subject matter experts when necessary. Our team of experienced journalists and editors ensures that every article undergoes a thorough review before publication. We also encourage community members to contribute stories and feedback, adding another layer of scrutiny and local knowledge.
