About Us: Glendale
Our Journey Begins in 2017
Glendale was founded in 2017 with a vision to become the go-to news source for the vibrant city of Glendale, Arizona. We recognized a growing need for an unbiased and reliable platform that would keep the community informed about local events, issues, and the unique culture that defines our city.

Filling the Information Gap
Glendale set out to fill a void in the digital landscape of local news. Many traditional media outlets were struggling to keep up with the rapid changes in the online space, and there was a distinct lack of dedicated community news sources. We saw an opportunity to create a platform that would bridge this gap, offering a personalized experience for Glendale residents.
