Keep Garland County Informed, Engaged and connected
Behind Every Strong Community Is A STRONG Local NEWSROOM
Local news is more than reporting. It’s the heartbeat of a community. It connects us, protects us and preserves our shared history. Since 1877, The Sentinel-Record has been where neighbors turn for trusted news and spirited sports coverage. Watch our story and hear from our newsroom why the legacy of local news matters in Garland County.
Strong local news strengthens civic life. It helps neighbors understand what’s happening and why it matters, from the decisions shaping their schools and governments to the forces influencing local businesses and daily life. Our stories have celebrated victories, mourned losses and shined light where it mattered most. When people have access to reliable news, they are more likely to vote, speak out and step forward to serve their community.
Your support ensures our newsroom has the resources to keep telling the stories that matter most to Garland County today, tomorrow and for generations to come. When you contribute to The Sentinel-Record Community Journalism Project, you're not just preserving history, you are helping write it. You're standing up for truth, for Garland County and for the generations who will look back on these stories to understand who we were and what we valued.

The Sentinel-Record has stood the test of time in Garland County as the only remaining newspaper in operation since 1877. By contributing to the Community Journalism Project, you will help us fund more in-depth and investigative reporting, and community driven newsroom projects that will help us serve our community in ways we have not been able to before.
"When a community has a strong, independent local newspaper, it’s not just informed – it’s connected."
