Filling an Online Void:
The internet has become a powerful tool for news consumption, yet there was a noticeable lack of dedicated local news sources in the Scottsdale area. Many national and international outlets covered nearby metropolises but rarely delved into the unique aspects that make Scottsdale tick.
