About Tempe: Your Trusted News Source
Our Journey
Tempe was born in 2012, driven by a simple yet powerful vision: to bring accurate and unbiased news to the heart of Tempe, Arizona, and beyond. Founded by a team of passionate journalists and tech enthusiasts, we set out to fill an information gap that had long been noticed within the local community. What started as a modest online publication has since grown into a thriving news hub, dedicated to keeping our readers informed and engaged.
Our Mission and Values
At Tempe, we strive to be the go-to source for reliable and up-to-date news, covering everything from local events and politics to business and cultural stories that shape our city. Our core values are rooted in:
- Accuracy: We uphold the highest standards of journalistic integrity, ensuring every piece is fact-checked and verified.
- Unbiased Reporting: Tempe provides an unfiltered view, presenting both sides of a story and allowing readers to form their own opinions.
- Community Engagement: We aim to foster a sense of community by inviting reader participation through comments, feedback, and user-generated content.
Filling the Gap
The internet age has brought about a surge in information, but not all sources are created equal. Many online platforms prioritize clickbait or biased narratives, leaving readers uncertain about what to believe. Tempe was conceived as a solution to this problem, offering a dedicated space for accurate and balanced reporting. We aim to provide the local news that often goes unnoticed or under-reported.

Our target audience includes residents of Tempe and nearby areas who are eager to stay informed about their city's affairs. We cater to students, professionals, families, and enthusiasts alike, offering content tailored to diverse interests. Whether it's keeping up with local government initiatives, discovering hidden gems within the community, or staying informed about regional events, Tempe is here to serve.
