About Phoenix
Our Journey Begins
Phoenix was born in 2017, driven by a simple yet powerful vision: to bring accurate and unbiased news to the digital landscape of Phoenix, and beyond. Founded by a team of passionate journalists and tech enthusiasts, we set out to fill an information gap that had long plagued the internet—a lack of reliable, locally-focused news sources.
A Story of Growth and Impact
Over the years, Phoenix has evolved from a modest startup to a trusted news hub for the community. We've celebrated numerous milestones, each a testament to our dedication and the growing need for quality journalism. From breaking local stories to providing in-depth analysis, we've been dedicated to keeping Phoenix residents informed and engaged.
