What they're saying about TucsonSentinel.com

In the past months, we've received a number of emails, comments and actual letters from readers telling us how much they appreciate the quality reporting of TucsonSentinel.com. 

In the year since the Jan. 8 shooting, we've had hundreds of people give us a pat on the back for our coverage of that terrible event and its aftermath — along with our continued reporting on the border, local politics, the environment and other issues. Many of them have donated to support their local independent nonprofit news site. Whether it's a $5 or $5,000 contribution, or a few words of encouragement, the dedicated volunteers who bring you TucsonSentinel.com appreciate having engaged and informed readers.
