The '''''Sentinel''''' is a weekly newspaper in [Aurora, Colorado](/source/Aurora%2C_Colorado), published each Thursday by Aurora Media Group LLC.

==History==
In 1971, the [Minneapolis Star](/source/Minneapolis_Star) and [Tribune Company](/source/Tribune_Company) acquired a group of suburban publications in the Denver area, including the ''Aurora Star-Sentinel'', the successor to an earlier newspaper serving the Aurora community, ''The Aurora Democrats and News''.{{Citation needed|date=October 2020}}

Published on Wednesdays and delivered to local homes, ''The Sentinel'' for some time also had a Friday companion newspaper called the ''Aurora Sentinel Weekender''.{{Citation needed|date=October 2020}}

In 1991, the [Cowles Media Company](/source/Cowles_Media_Company) (formerly Minneapolis Star and Tribune Company) broke up and sold off the Denver suburban chain. Local ownership and control of the ''Sentinel'' was established via a partnership of publisher Karen Sowell Johnson and president H. Harrison Cochran.{{Citation needed|date=October 2020}}

In 1997, a free, rack-distributed publication – ''The Aurora Sun-Sentinel'' – was introduced to supplement the paid-subscription ''Sentinel''.{{Citation needed|date=October 2020}}

In April 2004, Aurora Publishing Co. introduced ''The Aurora Daily Sun'', a five-day-a-week, tabloid-size publication freely distributed in the city. In June 2007, the ''Daily Sun'' adopted the Sentinel brand. In February 2011, Aurora Media Group bought the papers.{{Citation needed|date=October 2020}}
