The Los Angeles Sentinel is a weekly African-American owned newspaper published in Los Angeles, California. The paper boasts of reaching 125,000 readers {{As of|2004|lc=on}}, making it one of the oldest, largest and most influential African-American newspaper in the Western United States. The Sentinel was also noted for their coverage of the changing African-American daily life experience in the post-1992 Los Angeles Riots era. [1]

The Sentinel was founded in 1933 by Leon H. Washington Jr. for black readers.[2] Since that time, 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.
