About Tempe: Unlocking the Heart of News
Our Journey Begins in 2012
Tempe was founded in 2012 with a vision to bring unbiased and accurate news coverage directly to the fingertips of those passionate about their communities. We recognized a growing need for a reliable source dedicated to shedding light on the vibrant city of Tempe, Arizona, and its surrounding areas.
Over the years, we've been proud to mark several milestones:
- 2015: Launching our breaking news service, ensuring readers stay informed in real time.

Our Mission and Values
At Tempe, we strive to be the go-to source for news, insights, and stories that matter in Tempe and beyond. Our core values are:
- Unbiased Reporting: We commit to presenting both sides of every story, ensuring our readers make informed decisions.

Our mission is to empower residents, visitors, and prospective newcomers by providing them with the knowledge they need to navigate and appreciate the unique character of Tempe.
Filling an Information Gap
The internet, while a vast resource, often lacks depth in local news coverage. We identified a gap where dedicated community news platforms were scarce, leaving many residents uninformed or misinformed about local affairs. Tempe was born out of this realization, aiming to fill that void with timely, relevant, and detailed reporting.
