About Us: Tucson News

Our Journey Begins in 2012

Tucson News was founded in 2012 with a vision to become the go-to source for news and information about Tucson, Arizona, and its vibrant community. We aim to fill an information gap that we identified in the local media landscape by offering unbiased, accurate, and engaging content tailored specifically for residents and visitors alike.
