About Scottsdale
Our Story
Scottsdale was founded in 2017 with a vision to become the go-to news source for the vibrant city of Scottsdale, Arizona. We were born out of a passion to fill an information gap that existed within the local community—a need for reliable, unbiased, and up-to-date news coverage. Our journey began as a small but dedicated team, determined to make a difference in the digital landscape of Scottsdale.
Over the years, we have grown exponentially, marking significant milestones along the way. From our humble beginnings as a local blog, we expanded into a fully-fledged online publication, attracting a diverse and engaged audience.

Filling the Information Void
The internet age has brought about unprecedented access to information, yet we identified a distinct lack of localized, in-depth news coverage for Scottsdale.

This realization prompted us to establish Scottsdale as a dedicated platform, catering specifically to the local community's needs.
