The Daily Sentinel has been western Colorado's chronicle of record since 1893.
Published in Grand Junction, Co., the newspaper is western Colorado's largest
and is distributed throughout a vast geographical area ranging from the
Wyoming border on the north, to Red Mountain Pass and the San Juan Mountain
range to the south, Moab and Grand County, Utah, to the west and Glenwood
Springs and Aspen's Roaring Fork River valley to the east.
For most of its history an afternoon newspaper, The Daily Sentinel converted
to a morning publication schedule in October, 1997. Daily circulation is
approximately 31,000 and between 34,000 and 35,000 Sunday. It is the western-
most holding of Cox Newspapers, Inc., a division of Atlanta-based Cox
Enterprises.
The Daily Sentinel has long been recognized as one of the finest mid-sized
newspapers in the Rocky Mountain West. It's been the recipient of the
nationally renowned John Hancock Award for Excellence in Business and
Financial Journalism. Newsroom staffers are consistently honored each year by
the Colorado Press Association and in the Best Of Cox competition.
