Oro Valley Voice
Rooted. Relaunched. Revived.
Welcome back to the Oro Valley Voice, where legacy meets momentum. Founded by Gregory Lopeman, the Voice began as a humble print-to-mail community publication, connecting neighbors with hyperlocal news and stories that mattered. It thrived in mailboxes across town until 2021, when the world got a little noisier and a lot more complicated. The presses quieted, but the story wasn’t over; it was just on pause. Now, with Gregory back at the helm and a bold new digital vision, we’re louder, sharper, and more connected than ever before.
Building on our print heritage, our digital platform now reaches over 10,000 unique visitors each month, while our weekly newsletter engages more than 3,000 subscribers. With live event coverage, video storytelling, and our “Echoes of Oro Valley” podcast, we’re fostering real-time conversations—and we can’t wait to reunite digital and print this monsoon season 2025 for the next chapter of our community story.
We’re more than just a local news site. The new Oro Valley Voice is your neighborhood’s media engine: a podcast in your earbuds, a feed in your palm, and soon again, a newspaper in your mailbox. We’ve built a media ecosystem for the modern Oro Valley, powered by real voices, grassroots business stories, and a social wing that doesn’t miss a beat. Whether you're an entrepreneur, a neighbor, or someone who just wants to feel more rooted here, this is your Voice.
By blending bite-sized daily updates on social media, in-depth weekly articles, and our award-winning “Echoes of Oro Valley” podcast—now with over 30 episodes and counting—we meet you where you are. This monsoon season 2025, we’ll reunite digital and print, delivering curated community storytelling directly to your mailbox once again. Together, we’re amplifying local entrepreneurs, celebrating neighborhood achievements, and ensuring every voice in Oro Valley has its moment to be heard.

Our Vision & Hopes for the Future
Oro Valley Voice is more than a news outlet—it’s a 360° community platform that marries our print heritage with cutting-edge digital storytelling. From the moment you click into our website or tune into an “Echoes of Oro Valley” podcast episode, you’ll find immersive local reporting, grassroots business spotlights, and neighborhood voices that too often go unheard elsewhere. Our weekly newsletter curates the most impactful headlines, event invites, and civic updates, while our social channels keep you connected in real time. This monsoon season, we’ll reignite our print edition—reviving the tactile, mailbox-to-mailbox connection that first defined us—so that every corner of Oro Valley has a tangible reminder of the stories shaping our town.
Looking forward, we dream of a truly participatory media ecosystem where readers transition seamlessly from discovering a small-business feature online to sharing their own community tip via our story submission portal. We envision expanding “Echoes of Oro Valley” into live community forums, forging partnerships with local schools to cultivate the next generation of journalists, and introducing a youth journalism internship that gives students a direct pipeline to tell their own stories. As we grow, our north star remains the same: to amplify every voice, bolster civic engagement, and ensure that Oro Valley Voice continues to be the shared heartbeat of our community—for today, tomorrow, and beyond.
