History

In 1971, the Minneapolis Star and Tribune Company acquired a group of suburban publications in the Denver area, including the Aurora Star-Sentinel, the successor to an earlier newspaper serving the Aurora community, The Aurora Democrats and News.[ citation needed ]

Published on Wednesdays and delivered to local homes, The Sentinel for some time also had a Friday companion newspaper called the Aurora Sentinel Weekender.[ citation needed ]

In 1991, the Cowles Media Company (formerly Minneapolis Star and Tribune Company) broke up and sold off the Denver suburban chain. Local ownership and control of the Sentinel was established via a partnership of publisher Karen Sowell Johnson and president H. Harrison Cochran.[ citation needed ]

In 1997, a free, rack-distributed publication – The Aurora Sun-Sentinel – was introduced to supplement the paid-subscription Sentinel.[ citation needed ]

In April 2004, Aurora Publishing Co. introduced The Aurora Daily Sun, a five-day-a-week, tabloid-size publication freely distributed in the city. In June 2007, the Daily Sun adopted the Sentinel brand. In February 2011, Aurora Media Group bought the papers.[ citation needed ]

In February 2011, the Aurora Sentinel and the Buckley Guardian were purchased by the Aurora Media Group from the Aurora Publishing Company. In May 2011, the Aurora Sentinel changed from a daily to a weekly publication.[ citation needed ]

From 2013 to 2017, Aurora Media Group published Aurora, a monthly city magazine.[ citation needed ]

In 2016, the Buckley Guardian ceased publication.[ citation needed ]
