About Us: Welcome to Tempe
Our Journey
Tempe was founded in 2017 with a vision to become a premier news source dedicated to serving and reflecting the vibrant community of Tempe, Arizona. Our journey began as a passion project by a group of local journalists and content creators who identified a need for more comprehensive and unbiased coverage of regional affairs.
Over the years, we've marked several milestones: from our official launch in 2018 to becoming a go-to platform for both locals and visitors seeking information about Tempe's unique culture, events, and daily life. We've consistently strived to deliver high-quality content, earning the trust of our readers and establishing ourselves as a respected voice in the region.
