About Phoenix
Our Journey Begins: 2012
Phoenix was founded in 2012 with a vision to become the go-to news platform for the bustling city of Phoenix and its surrounding areas.

Our mission is to empower the community by providing up-to-date, accurate, and engaging content that matters to Phoenix residents.
