The Knoxville News Sentinel is a newspaper in Knoxville, Tennessee, USA covering general news. The newspaper is owned by E.W. Scripps Company.
The newspaper began in December 1886 as an evening paper, the Sentinel. In November 1926 the Knoxville News acquired the newspaper and the first edition of The Knoxville News-Sentinel appeared on November 21, 1926. In 1986 the News-Sentinel became a morning paper. In 2002 the paper dropped the hyphen from its name to become the Knoxville News Sentinel. Its publisher is Bruce Hartmann and its editor is Jack McElroy, formerly of the Rocky Mountain News. Other key management includes Assistant Managing Editor Michael Apuan, Director of Photography Tracey Trumbull, graphics editor Dan Proctor, business editor David Keim and news editor Tom Chester. Key staffers include photographers Michael Patrick, J. Miles Cary, Cathy Clarke, Amy Burgess, Clay Owen, Saul Young and Joe Howell; writers John Adams, Larisa Brass, Mike Strange and Jamie Satterfield. Online editor is Jack Lail.
The News Sentinel has sponsored four winners of the Scripps National Spelling Bee:
- 1940: Laura Kuykendall (now Laura Kuykendall Mullins) - "therapy"
- 1960: Henry Feldman - "eudaemonic"
- 1963: Glen Van Slyke III - "equipage"
- 1994: Ned Andrews - "antediluvian"
The Quentin Tarantino film Grindhouse features a fictitious publication billed as the "Lebanon News-Sentinel" and set in the old-fashioned typeface and black-and-white printing of a lower-budget, small-town newspaper. The title attributes the News Sentinel name (in its former, hyphenated punctuation) to the newspaper of the small town Lebanon, Tennessee, whose actual newspaper is the Lebanon Democrat.
