- The Daily Sentinel newspaper (Grand Junction, Colorado)
- The Daily Sentinel was founded in 1893 by Isaac N. Bunting. He published the paper until 1911, when he sold it to Walter Walker. Under Walker's leadership, the paper became a staunch supporter of Democratic Party causes. The Sentinel's main rival in its early years was the Grand Junction News, a mouthpiece for the Republican Party. The News's publisher, Charles Adams, was friends with Walker, and the News was eventually purchased by the Sentinel sometime in the late 1920's or early 1930's. The Sentinel became an advocate of community development, and was important in pushing such causes as the construction of Grand Junction's airport and the establishment and growth of Colorado Mesa University. The paper also covered national issues and had fifty national correspondents employed during the 1920's through 1940's. During the 1920's, Walker founded Grand Junction's local chapter of the Ku Klux Klan, and presided over its initial meetings (Hooded Empire by Robert Goldberg). Walker then turned against the Klan, and the Sentinel published many articles critical of the organization. Walker passed the newspaper onto his son, Preston Walker, who published it from 1956 to 1970. His successor, Ken Johnson, ran the paper until 1979. Cox News purchased and ran the newspaper until 2009, when it was purchased by the Seaton Publishing Company. Jay Seaton serves as the current publisher. *Some information taken from the website of the Daily Sentinel.

- The Durango Democrat newspaper
- A newspaper in Durango, Colorado that ran from 1892-1928. According to the website of the Durango Herald, the Democrat was established in 1892, when Democratic party operatives in La Plata County brought Dave Day, publisher of the Solid Muldoon in Ouray, to Durango in order to establish a Democratic Newspaper to counter the Republican-leaning Herald. Day engaged in rivalries with fellow newspaper publishers, and in one instance, exchanged gunfire with the editor of the Trade's Journal. He died in 1914 and ownership passed to his son, Rod Day. In 1928, the Herald and Democrat merged. Day later founded the Durango News.
