About Scottsdale: Your Scottsdale News Hub
Our Story
Scottsdale was born out of a passion for providing accurate and unbiased news coverage of the vibrant city we call home—Scottsdale, Arizona. Founded in 2017, our journey began with a simple yet powerful vision: to fill an information gap that existed within the online landscape of this bustling metropolis. We recognized that while Scottsdale was known for its thriving culture, dynamic businesses, and diverse community, there was a lack of centralized, reliable news sources dedicated exclusively to keeping residents and visitors informed.
Over the years, we've grown from a small team of dedicated journalists to a thriving online community, becoming the go-to platform for all things Scottsdale. Our mission has always been to deliver high-quality, timely, and trustworthy content that keeps our readers connected to their city.
