About Scottsdale
Our Journey Begins in 2012
Scottsdale was founded with a vision to become a trusted and comprehensive news platform for the vibrant city of Scottsdale, Arizona. In 2012, we set out on a mission to fill an information gap that we identified within the digital landscape of this bustling metropolis. Recognizing the potential for a local news source dedicated solely to Scottsdale, our team aimed to create a one-stop destination for residents and visitors alike.
Milestones and Growth
Over the years, Scottsdale has marked several significant achievements:
- 2013: We launched our website with a robust online presence, covering local events, politics, and community news.
- 2015: Scottsdale expanded its reach by introducing an award-winning photography section, showcasing the beautiful landscapes and vibrant culture of Scottsdale.
- 2017: To cater to a diverse audience, we incorporated language translation services, making our content accessible to non-English speakers.
- 2019: The website underwent a significant redesign, enhancing user experience with improved navigation and mobile responsiveness.
- 2021: We introduced an interactive map feature, providing users with real-time local business information and reviews.
Our Purpose and Values
Scottsdale is more than just a news platform; it is a commitment to serving the Scottsdale community by:
- Fostering Transparency: We believe in delivering unbiased, accurate, and reliable information, ensuring our readers stay informed about the city's developments.

- Preserving Accuracy: Our rigorous fact-checking process and commitment to ethical journalism ensure that every article meets the highest standards of credibility.
Bridging the Information Gap
The internet, while vast, often lacks localized, reliable news sources. Scottsdale aims to bridge this gap by focusing exclusively on Scottsdale, ensuring that residents and visitors have access to up-to-date, relevant information about their city. We strive to go beyond typical news coverage by providing in-depth analysis, unique insights, and a platform for local voices.
