About Us: Tempe - Your Digital Gateway to News and Insights
Our Journey Begins: 2010
Tempe was founded in 2010 with a vision to bridge the information gap that often exists in digital news spaces. We recognized that while the internet is brimming with content, there's a distinct lack of reliable, unbiased, and accurate sources focusing on specific regions and their unique stories. With this in mind, we set out to create a platform that not only delivers news but also enriches the lives of our readers through insightful storytelling.
Milestones and Achievements:
- 2012: Launch of our flagship section, 'Local Lens', dedicated to showcasing the vibrant culture and hidden gems of Tempe, Arizona.
- 2015: Expanded our reach by introducing a weekly podcast series featuring interviews with local influencers and industry experts.
- 2017: Achieved a significant milestone with 1 million unique visitors across all platforms, solidifying our position as a trusted news source.
- 2019: Implemented advanced fact-checking tools to ensure every article meets the highest standards of accuracy and integrity.
- 2021: Introduced interactive data visualizations, making complex information accessible and engaging for our audience.
Our Purpose and Core Values:
At Tempe, we strive to be more than just a news website; we aim to be a trusted companion for our readers in the ever-evolving digital landscape. Our purpose is to provide unbiased, comprehensive, and reliable information about cities, communities, and the people who call them home. We believe in:
- Integrity: Delivering honest, ethical, and transparent reporting is at the heart of everything we do.

Filling the Information Void:
The internet, while seemingly infinite, often fails to capture the nuanced stories that make each city unique. Many news outlets focus on national or global issues, leaving local narratives underreported and undervalued. Tempe was created to fill this void, offering a dedicated platform for local news, culture, and community events. We believe that every street has a story worth telling, and our mission is to give voice to these stories.
Unbiased Reporting and Reliability:
At Tempe, we take pride in our commitment to impartial reporting. Our journalists strive to present both sides of every story, allowing readers to form their own opinions. We understand the importance of reliable information, especially when it comes to shaping public discourse. To ensure accuracy, each article undergoes multiple rounds of fact-checking using reputable sources and advanced AI tools.
