About Us: Welcome to Tempe
Our Journey
Tempe was founded in 2017 with a vision to become the go-to news source for the vibrant city of Tempe, Arizona. What started as a passion project by a group of local journalists and tech enthusiasts has grown into a thriving online community. We celebrated our 5th anniversary in 2022, marking significant milestones along the way.
Our Mission and Values
At its core, Tempe is driven by a deep-rooted commitment to provide unbiased, accurate, and reliable information about our beloved city. We believe that staying informed is essential for engaged citizens, and our mission is to bridge the information gap that often exists in bustling urban centers. Our core values include integrity, objectivity, and accessibility.
We strive to:
- Deliver news and stories that shed light on Tempe's diverse communities, rich history, and ever-evolving landscape.
