About Tucson: Your Digital Window to the Sonoran Desert

Our Journey Begins in 2012

Tucson was founded in 2012 with a vision to bring the vibrant spirit and unique character of Tucson, Arizona, directly to readers worldwide through an engaging digital platform. What started as a small online publication has since grown into a thriving community hub, offering insightful news, captivating stories, and a wealth of information about this captivating city.

A Story of Growth and Impact

Milestones:

  • 2015: Tucson introduces its first interactive feature, allowing readers to explore historic neighborhoods through virtual tours.
  • 2017: We expand our team and launch a weekly podcast, "Tucson Talks," featuring local voices and their perspectives on various topics.
  • 2019: The website undergoes a significant redesign, enhancing user experience and introducing personalized content recommendations.
  • 2021: Tucson becomes the go-to platform for local event listings, connecting residents with over 500+ community events annually.

Our Mission and Core Values

At Tucson, we strive to be the most comprehensive and reliable source of news and information about Tucson. Our mission is to:

  • Inform: Provide accurate, up-to-date, and unbiased content that educates readers about their city's rich history, diverse culture, and vibrant community.
  • Engage: Foster a sense of connection among residents, visitors, and those passionate about Tucson by sharing compelling stories and creating an interactive digital space.
  • Empower: Enable local businesses, organizations, and individuals to showcase their unique offerings and contribute to the city's thriving ecosystem.

We uphold these core values:

Filling the Information Gap

Tucson was born out of a realization that while Tucson has a rich local culture and history, there was a lack of centralized digital resources that showcased its unique charm. We aimed to bridge this gap by creating a one-stop destination for everything Tucson—a place where residents can stay informed and visitors can discover the city's hidden gems.

Our dedicated team employs rigorous fact-checking processes, sources data from reputable local authorities, and encourages reader contributions to verify content. We believe in the power of community involvement to keep our information current and accurate.
