About Us

Welcome to Gilbert: Your Digital Gateway to Unbiased News

Founding Year: 2017

Gilbert was born out of a simple yet powerful idea: to provide an unbiased and reliable source of news, especially focused on the vibrant city of Gilbert and its surrounding areas. In 2017, we set sail on this journey with a team of passionate journalists and tech-savvy individuals who shared a common vision.

Our Story

We recognized a growing need for local news that goes beyond the mainstream media’s scope. Traditional outlets often overlooked the unique stories and events happening in Gilbert, leaving a significant information gap. This inspired us to create a platform dedicated to shedding light on the people, places, and issues that matter most to the Gilbert community.

Since our launch, we’ve come a long way. We’ve celebrated numerous milestones, including:

2018: Launching our first dedicated section for local business profiles, highlighting the diverse entrepreneurial spirit of Gilbert.
2019: Expanding our team to include seasoned journalists and photographers, ensuring top-quality content.
2020: Introducing interactive features on our website to engage readers, fostering a sense of community.
2022: Achieving over 500,000 page views monthly, solidifying our position as the go-to news source for Gilbert residents.
