Our Mission and Evolution
Oro Valley Voice was founded on a simple belief: local stories matter. Our mission is to inform, connect, and uplift the people of Oro Valley through journalism that reflects the soul of our town — not just its headlines.
We’re more than a news site. We’re a platform for residents, small businesses, artists, volunteers, teachers, realtors, and everyday neighbors who shape the heartbeat of this unique desert town. Whether you’re browsing the business directory, tuning into the Echoes of the Valley podcast, or diving into our real estate insights, you’re part of the conversation.
Where We’ve Been
Originally launched as a print newspaper delivered by mail, Oro Valley Voice was a staple in households across town. For years, it delivered stories that felt like home. After a brief pause during the digital transition, we’re proud to bring that same spirit online — with a renewed focus on quality, community-first reporting.
Where We’re Going
We’ve expanded into digital media with curated community sections, dynamic event coverage, a growing email newsletter, and deep dives into topics that matter — from health and wellness to small business growth and sustainability.
Later this year, our print edition will return — not as a throwback, but as a forward-looking hybrid publication that blends traditional reach with modern design and editorial depth. It’s part newspaper, part community canvas.
Our Values
- 🔹 Transparency: Every article is written with clarity, not clutter.
- 🔹 Integrity: We do not chase clicks. We pursue truth.
- 🔹 Community: We cover what matters to those who live here — and we listen.
- 🔹 Local First: From food & drink to local nonprofits, we spotlight what’s rooted here.
Want to Get Involved?
We’re actively seeking contributors, columnists, photographers, and volunteers. Or, if you have a story worth sharing, you can submit it directly here.
Oro Valley deserves a voice that reflects its people. That’s our promise — and we’re just getting started.
