About Clarkdale
Our Story
Clarkdale was founded in 2017 with a vision to bring comprehensive and reliable news coverage to the heart of Clarkdale and its surrounding communities. The idea stemmed from a growing need for a local news source that could bridge the information gap often left by larger media outlets. We set out to create a platform that not only keeps residents informed but also fosters a sense of community and engagement.
Since our launch, we’ve celebrated numerous milestones. From covering local events and council meetings to shining a light on community initiatives, Clarkdale has become an indispensable resource for residents seeking accurate and up-to-date information. We pride ourselves on being the go-to source for news, features, and insights related to all things Clarkdale.

Addressing an Internet Information Gap
The internet has become a powerful tool for news consumption, yet there was a distinct lack of dedicated local news sources in Clarkdale.
