About Tempe: Unlocking the Heart of News
Our Journey Begins in 2012
Tempe was founded in 2012 with a vision to bring a fresh perspective to local news coverage. Born out of a passion for providing unbiased and accurate information, our journey started as a small but dedicated team seeking to fill an information gap within the Tempe community. We recognized the need for a platform that would not only report on the events shaping our city but also foster engagement and connection among its residents.
Milestones and Achievements
Over the years, Tempe has grown from a local news blog to a trusted online resource. Some key milestones include:
- 2015: Launch of our mobile app, making real-time news access more convenient for readers on the go.
- 2017: Expansion of our team and introduction of multimedia content, including photo essays and podcasts, enriching the user experience.
- 2019: We hit a significant milestone—1 million page views, solidifying our position as a leading news source in Tempe.
- 2022: Launch of our community engagement initiative, "Tempe Talks," which brings residents together for discussions on pressing local issues.
Our Purpose and Mission
At its core, Tempe is driven by a mission to empower the people of Tempe with knowledge and foster a sense of community. We strive to:
