The Orlando Sentinel is the primary newspaper of the Orlando, Florida region. It was founded in 1876. The Sentinel is owned by Tribune Company and is overseen by the Chicago Tribune. As of 2005, the Sentinel’s president and publisher was Kathleen Waltz; she announced her resignation in February 2008. Howard Greenberg, publisher of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, was named publisher of both the Sun-Sentinel and the Orlando Sentinel after Waltz left.[2]

Redesign

In 2008, the Orlando Sentinel's parent company, Tribune Company, called for a redesign of the Sentinel. The new layout, which debuted in June 2008, was formatted to appeal to busy readers.[4][5] In order to compete with the immediacy of the Internet, the Sentinel added more graphics, quick-read top news stories and simpler layouts. The redesign also incorporated more local news coverage, consumer information and governmental surveillance stories. In addition to appealing to more non-readers, the redesign hoped to gain more advertising revenue.
