About Us: Goodyear

Our Journey Begins

Goodyear was founded in 2017 with a vision to become the go-to news source for all things related to the iconic city of Goodyear, Arizona. It emerged from the belief that there was a growing need for a dedicated platform to share and celebrate the rich history, vibrant culture, and remarkable developments shaping this dynamic community.

Milestones and Achievements

Over the years, we've achieved several milestones, including:

  • 2018: Launch of our multimedia section, bringing engaging videos and podcasts to our readers.
  • 2019: Introduction of a user-friendly mobile app, making Goodyear news accessible on-the-go.
  • 2020: Expansion of our team, allowing us to cover a broader range of topics and events.

Our Purpose and Values

Goodyear is more than just a news website; it's a digital hub dedicated to:

  • Preserving History: We strive to document and share the stories and events that shape Goodyear, ensuring its rich heritage is accessible to all.
  • Fostering Community: Our mission is to bring residents together by providing a platform for local news, events, and community discussions.

  • Empowering Voices: Goodyear aims to amplify the voices of local businesses, organizations, and residents, giving them a digital stage to share their stories and ideas.

Filling the Information Gap

The internet is overflowed with information, but not all sources are created equal. We identified a gap in reliable, locally focused news coverage, especially regarding Goodyear's unique identity and its ever-evolving story. Many national outlets only scratch the surface of local issues, leaving room for misconceptions and overlooked developments. Goodyear fills this void by providing in-depth, accurate reporting tailored to our community.

We prioritize accuracy and fairness in all our reporting. Our team of dedicated journalists and contributors:

  • Conducts thorough research to verify facts and figures.
