The Tucson Sentinel is a nonprofit online newspaper in Tucson, founded in 2009 and began publishing full-time in January 2010, with a focus on Arizona and regional news. The Sentinel was founded in 2009 after the shutdown in May 2009 of the Tucson Citizen, a 138-year-old afternoon daily newspaper that was closed by the Gannett Company newspaper chain. The founder of the nonprofit news site, Dylan Smith, had been the online editor for the Tucson Citizen. It began publishing full-time in January 2010, with an emphasis on local politics and public policy issues, including the border and immigration. The site was one of the initial wave of local independent online news sites to spring up around the country as daily newspapers endured layoffs and closures. The site is among hundreds of startup local news organizations across the country founded to fill the gaps left by declining print newsrooms. More information...
