Orlando was founded in 2012 with a vision to become the go-to news platform for the vibrant city of Orlando, Florida. We started as a small team of dedicated journalists and tech enthusiasts who identified a growing need for a reliable, local news source. Over the years, we’ve grown into a thriving community of like-minded individuals passionate about keeping Orlando informed and connected.

Our Purpose and Mission

Orlando is dedicated to delivering unbiased, accurate, and timely news coverage of Orlando and its surrounding areas. Our mission is to empower the community by providing a trusted source of information, fostering dialogue, and encouraging civic engagement. We strive to bridge the gap between residents, businesses, and local government, ensuring that everyone stays informed about the issues that shape our city.

Filling the Information Gap

The internet, while brimming with information, often lacks reliable and locally focused content. Many national news outlets cover Orlando but fail to delve into the unique stories and issues that matter most to residents. Orlando fills this void by providing in-depth, hyperlocal news, ensuring that every corner of Orlando is represented and heard.
