Our editor decides what we cover. No restaurant can pay for a story, a review or a spot in a guide.
What we cover
Tucson Foodie is where food lovers discover, learn about and experience the local food scene, from an insider's point of view. We cover the restaurants, people, ingredients and experiences that make our region delicious: the whole food system, from farms, producers and makers to restaurants and chefs. Our focus is Greater Tucson, with coverage across Southern Arizona, for every taste and budget.
Independence
- Tucson Foodie does not publish sponsored articles.
- We do not take money from restaurants for coverage. Restaurant partnership with Tucson Foodie and the Foodie Club is free, and being a partner never guarantees coverage.
- Some guides carry a "Sponsored by" label from a brand that is not a restaurant. Sponsors have no say over which places a guide includes or what it says.
How we report
- We visit the places we write about, and our photographs are our own unless credited otherwise.
- We work to confirm openings, closings, hours and menus with the business or a public record before we publish.
- Every story carries the writer's name and links to their author page. When a restaurant provides a meal or tasting at no charge, the story says so.
Keeping stories current
- When we meaningfully update a story or guide, we show the date it was updated.
- Restaurants that close stay on our site, clearly labeled closed, and are removed from our guides.
Pitches
- Restaurants and readers with a story idea can pitch the editor directly. Coverage is never part of a paid arrangement.
Corrections
We correct errors quickly and say so.
- Report an error: email info@tucsonfoodie.com with the story's link and what is wrong.
- Factual errors (a wrong name, address, date, price or detail) are fixed, and a note at the end of the story says what changed and when.
- Minor fixes (typos, formatting, broken links) are made without a note.
- Closures and changes after publication, such as new hours or a closing, are updated in the story and in our restaurant listings.
- We do not remove stories because a business asks; we correct or update them when they are inaccurate. We remove a story only for legal or safety reasons.
