Analysis / Bias
The Arizona Luminaria engages in investigative journalism and community news reporting, often highlighting issues related to government transparency, social justice, and inequality concerns. Its reports focus on the state politics and policy. Articles and headlines contain moderately loaded emotional language, such as this Tucson adding more riprap rocks along I-10 underpasses at cost of $300K. Like most others, this story is thorough, relying on credible sources such as government documents and outlets like the Associated Press and the LA Times.
Editorially, they do not have a dedicated opinion section; however, many reports, such as Assaulted by her cellmate in Tucson, a trans woman took the federal prisons to court favor the left. They also promote social justice and environmental concerns, which are views favored by the left.
In general, the Arizona Luminaria is fact-based and holds moderately progressive viewpoints.
