The ''Los Angeles Sentinel'' is a weekly African-American-owned newspaper published in Los Angeles, California. The paper boasts of reaching 125,000 readers , making it one of the oldest, largest and most influential African-American newspaper in the Western United States. The ''Sentinel'' was founded and first published in 1933 by Col. Leon H. Washington for black readers. Since then the newspaper has been considered a staple of black life in Los Angeles. The paper mainly focuses on and thus enjoys most of its circulation in the predominantly African-American neighborhoods of South Los Angeles, Inglewood and Compton. On March 17, 2004, the ''Sentinel'' was purchased and came under the direction of real estate developer and community activist Danny Bakewell. Recently Bakewell has updated equipment at the paper's publishing facility and has worked to improve marketing and increase subscriptions. ==Notable articles== Andrew Young, a former Atlanta mayor, resigned from his public relations post on August 17, 2006 with Wal-Mart after he was quoted in the ''Sentinel'' for saying that urban communities should welcome in Wal-Mart, since the retailer could push out mom-and-pop shops that had allegedly been overcharging poor people. The (controversial aspect of Young's interview was its racial dimension. ) He said: "I think they've ripped off our communities enough. First it was Jews, then it was Koreans and now it's Arabs." The ''Los Angeles Sentinel'' is circulated throughout Southern California. Distribution is contracted out to the ''Los Angeles Times''. Outside Metropolitan Los Angeles, the ''Los Angeles Sentinel'' is delivered to homes by the United States Postal Service. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Los Angeles Sentinel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
