About Us: Welcome to Tempe
Our Journey Begins in 2010
Tempe was founded in 2010 with a vision to bring accurate and unbiased news coverage directly to the fingertips of residents and enthusiasts of Tempe, Arizona. We started as a small team passionate about our community and determined to fill an information gap that we noticed in the local media landscape.

Filling the Gap in Local News
The internet age has brought about transformative changes in media consumption. However, traditional news outlets often struggle to keep up with the digital pace, leaving a gap in local, community-focused reporting.
