About SAZLive

SAZLive is local news for Scottsdale, Arizona — that’s the SAZ in our name — and, when a story reaches across a border, nearby Paradise Valley, Fountain Hills and Cave Creek.

We are building a civic newsroom: city hall, school board dates, weather and heat, water and flood control, public-safety records, and the events that actually change a week in the city. We write original briefs from official records and named public sources, and we link those sources in the story.

Stories on this staging site carry the byline David Chambers. Desk notes and unsigned newsroom copy, when they appear, are credited to the SAZLive newsroom. This host, sazlive.com.spidercaster.com, is the public SAZLive news site until the production domain SAZLive.com is pointed here.

Questions, corrections and story tips go to the Contact page. Our standards, and how we correct a mistake, are on the Ethics page.
