The Knoxville News Sentinel is a historic daily newspaper based in Knoxville, Tennessee, serving the local community and surrounding regions. Founded in 1886, it originally operated as *The Sentinel* before merging with the *Knoxville News* in 1926 to become the *Knoxville News-Sentinel*. The newspaper dropped the hyphen in its name in 2002 during a rebranding that coincided with the opening of a new printing facility. The Knoxville News Sentinel publishes daily print editions, including a Sunday edition, and has a strong digital presence, having launched one of the first newspaper websites in 1994. The newspaper is known for its commitment to community engagement and has historically advocated for civic reforms, including the establishment of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It has received recognition for its investigative journalism and contributions to open government laws in Tennessee. With approximately 212 employees, the newspaper continues to be a vital source of news and information for East Tennessee residents.
