About Tucson
Our Journey Begins: 2007
Tucson was founded in 2007 with a vision to become the go-to news source for the vibrant city of Tucson, Arizona. We embarked on this journey with a team of passionate journalists and storytellers who shared a common goal: to shed light on the unique aspects of our beloved community.

Addressing an Information Gap
The internet is saturated with news sources, but many fail to capture the local essence of Tucson.
