About Coolidge
Our Story
Coolidge was born out of a passion for delivering accurate and unbiased news in an age where information is abundant but truth can often be elusive. Founded in 2017, our journey began with a simple yet powerful vision: to provide a reliable source of news focused on the vibrant city of Coolidge and its surrounding communities.
We recognized a gap in the market for a dedicated platform that offers comprehensive coverage without bias. Many online sources compromise accuracy for clickbait or fail to delve deep into local affairs, leaving room for a more responsible news outlet. This realization sparked our mission to become the go-to news hub for Coolidge residents and visitors alike.

Bridging the Information Gap
The internet has transformed how we consume news, but it has also created an environment where misinformation can spread rapidly.
