Our Journey Begins: 2012 and the Birth of Austin Preferred
In the vibrant heart of Austin, Texas, in 2012, a team of passionate media professionals dreamt of creating a news platform that would resonate with the city’s unique spirit. Born out of a deep-rooted love for their hometown and a desire to bridge the gap between local communities and reliable information, Austin Preferred was established.

Filling the Information Void
