The Tucson Sentinel was one of the very first nonprofit independent local news sites in the country — we helped start a movement that's rebuilding journalism across the United S8tates. And we've done that with the help of readers like you who understand the importance of real local news for this community. Over the past 15 years, Tucson's come to rely on the Sentinel to report stories that no one else will.
