History
In 1854, The Staffordshire Sentinel and Commercial and General Advertiser was first published as a Liberal weekly newspaper from offices in Cheapside, Hanley, on 7 January.[5] The publisher was Hugh Roberts, the Editor Thomas Phillips, a former Northampton bookseller and printer. One of the objects of the publishers was to campaign for the incorporation of Hanley, but news of the whole pottery district was contained in its columns. The initial price was 3d. By 1873: The Staffordshire Daily Sentinel was introduced at a halfpenny on Tuesday 15 April, publishing daily editions from Monday to Friday, with the Weekly Sentinel, at two pence, continuing to appear on Saturday. The Sentinel was the first daily paper to be published in the Potteries.[5] In 1898, the new paper was registered as the Staffordshire Sentinel Ltd.[citation needed]
In 2007 the broadsheet Sentinel Sunday ceased production in 2007.[6] In 2012: Local World acquired the Sentinel, along with other newspapers owned by Northcliffe Media, from the Daily Mail and General Trust.[7] In 2015, the Sentinel's parent company, Local World, was acquired by the Trinity Mirror Group.[citation needed]
The newspaper was based at Sentinel House on Bethesda Street, Hanley. In 2021, Reach PLC announced the office would close with all journalists subsequently working from home.[8]
