About Us: Tempe - Your Trusted News Hub

Our Journey Begins in 2010

Tempe was founded in 2010 with a vision to bring accurate and unbiased news coverage directly to the people of Tempe, Arizona, and beyond. We started as a small team of dedicated journalists and tech enthusiasts who identified a growing need for reliable local information in the digital age.

Our Purpose and Mission

Tempe is dedicated to becoming the digital heart of Tempe by providing:

  • Unbiased Reporting: We strive to present factual information without bias, ensuring every story is told with integrity.
