About The Perplex City Sentinel
The Perplex City Sentinel is acknowledged as the newspaper of record of the city. Its award-winning investigative journalism and incisive features make it not only the finest newspaper in the city but also its best-selling daily paper.
The Sentinel was founded in 89AC by the legendary property developer and industrialist Redward Innes. A colourful personality, legend has it that Innes set up the newspaper (then called the Perplex City Sentinel and Working Man's Friend) simply in order to settle a grudge against a business rival, whose Perplex City Vanguard was then the leading paper in the city. Innes ran the paper at a loss for the first 10 years of production, mainly owing to the large-scale puzzle contests he personally bankrolled and successfully put the Vanguard out of business. It was during this period that the Sentinel ran its infamous "Girls of the Academy" series, in a further attempt to boost sales. In 107 the Vanguard and the Sentinel merged, although the Vanguard name was swiftly dropped from the masthead.
After Innes' death in 115, The Sentinel experienced a period of declining sales, and was eventually purchased by the Heathcote Group (which also includes Heathcote Assurance and Heathcote Regional Development Corp) in 137. Heathcote's then director, Ram Zadorin, brought in maverick editor Emmi Hartlin under whose steady hand the paper regained its former prominence, this time on the basis of fine reporting and a dedication to intelligent information, rather than contests and prizes. Hartlin, who edited the paper from 138 until her retirement in 156, built the tradition of accuracy and detached opinion which endures to this day.
