The Holland Sentinel is a newspaper published seven days a week in Holland, Michigan, United States, founded in 1896. It is published by GateHouse Media. Originally an afternoon paper published six days a week, the Sentinel moved to Saturday mornings and then added a Sunday edition in the late 1980s. In the late 1990s, the paper adopted a morning format for all seven days. Before adopting the name The Holland Sentinel, it was called The Holland Evening Sentinel (1928-1977), and before that the Holland Daily Sentinel. The Sentinel was owned by Morris Communications from 1995 to October 2007, when it was sold to GateHouse Media. The Lakeshore Press, a publication of the Grand Rapids Press, was its main competitor, but has since shut down operations. In the mid 1980s, the Sentinel was a satellite publishing site for the Chicago Tribune. — wikipedia.org In the early 2000s, printing operations were moved to the Allegan, Michigan, facilities of The Flashes, a weekly advertising only newspaper that Morris Communications had purchased a few years prior.
