About Yuma
Our Journey Begins: A Story of Dedication and Insight
Yuma was founded in 2017 with a vision to become the go-to news platform for the vibrant city of Yuma, Arizona, and its surrounding communities. It all started as an idea by a group of passionate local journalists who identified a growing need for an independent, community-focused news source. They recognized that while the internet was brimming with information, there was a distinct lack of reliable, up-to-date content specifically catering to Yuma's unique story.

- 2019: Expanding our reach, we introduced weekly podcasts covering diverse topics relevant to the community, engaging a new audience and fostering deeper connections.
- 2020: During these unprecedented times, Yuma became a vital resource, providing essential updates and support during the COVID-19 pandemic, solidifying our position as a reliable news partner.
- 2021: We celebrated our 5th anniversary, marking significant growth with a dedicated team of writers, editors, and podcaster, all committed to delivering exceptional content.
- 2022: Yuma continues its mission to inform, engage, and unite the Yuma community through innovative storytelling and digital experiences.
