From the newsroom 
As you celebrate Independence Day, please support the free press that is the bedrock of our democracy, and help support the work of your local nonprofit news organization: the independent Tucson Sentinel. With the challenges we face as a community, and the heated partisan rhetoric about which set of "facts" to believe, there's never been a more urgent need for independent, transparent and vigilant local reporting. Give your tax-deductible gift today to invest in Tucson Sentinel's award-winning authentically local news for 2025, 2026 & beyond. Please join with your fellow readers and support the Sentinel. We'll put your dollars to work holding politicians accountable, reporting the untold stories of the borderlands, and bringing you and the rest of Southern Arizona nonpartisan independent news without the spin. We've been making big moves to bring you even more of the solid, thoroughly reported journalism you depend on the Sentinel to provide our community — bringing aboard Tucson journalism legend Jim Nintzel as our Government & Political Impact reporter, growing our arts coverage with our new Cultural Expression & Commuity Values reporter Mia Kortright, fostering a new generation of journalists with our crack summer fellows from around the world and other interns, winning national recognition for our work, and our entire longtime core team continuing to dig deep into the desert dirt for stories you just won't find anyplace else. We count on readers like you to help us pursue these important stories. If you value what we're doing and want to see the Sentinel continue and grow, please make your tax-deductible gift today! We have big plans to expand our reach, deepen our reporting, and increase the impact of authentically local news throughout 2025 and 2026 — but we need your help right now. Thanks for reading, and for your support of quality, nonprofit, nonpartisan local reporting! Gracias! Dylan Smith & Maria Coxon-Smith Editor & Co-Publisher | Co-Publisher
