History
[edit]The paper was owned by the McPherson family from 1864 to 1982.[3] Ottaway Community Newspapers, a division of Dow Jones & Company, bought the paper in 1982. Community Newspaper Holdings bought the Sentinel in late 2006 from Ottaway,[4] but quickly sold it, February 2, 2007, to MediaNews Group.[5] The MediaNews Group formed Digital First Media in 2013 when it merged with Journal Register Company. The company is controlled by the hedge fund Alden Global Capital.[2]
