Tulsa Today is the oldest independent local online news service in the world.  Publisher David Arnett established this domain as a diverse local platform for news and opinions in 1996.

In 2022 Arnett began Straight Up on Substack which is distributed by email to both free and paid subscribers. In 2026, he established the YouTube Channel, Straight Up Dave.

Tulsa is our home, Oklahoma is our greater community and together they are our primary focus.

Arnett was once a daily news reporter covering City Hall for the Tulsa Tribune and has been a staff writer, editor, and managing editor for many print and online news organizations.  Arnett won two national awards as a First Amendment Publisher, and hosted a call-in talk show for a year on KRMG.  He has never been accused of a mistake of fact, but his opinions are frequently debated throughout the city.  Arnett identifies politically as a Traditional Republican.

The crew here is of-the-right, based in one of the most liberal cities in Oklahoma irritating the local power-elite on a regular basis. A curious sort, we defend the common citizen, ask tough questions of officials, and love to poke holes in unjustly embellished narratives with humor.
