The paper was awarded its first Pulitzer Prize in 2013, in the category of Public Service Journalism, for its investigative series about off-duty police officers who engage in regular reckless speeding.

It has a daily circulation of 163,728 and a Sunday circulation of 228,906. The Sun Sentinel emphasizes local news, through its Community News and Local sections. In Miami, The Miami Herald is its primary competition, while in the Palm Beach County, The Palm Beach Post is the chief competition. However, in the late 1990s, it expanded its coverage to all of South Florida, including Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties. įor many years, the Sun Sentinel targeted Broward County and provided only limited news coverage in Palm Beach County. This company was acquired by Alden Global Capital, which operates its media properties through Digital First Media, in May 2021. The Sun Sentinel is owned by parent company, Tribune Publishing. The new look also removed the space between 'Sun' and 'Sentinel' in the newspaper's flag, but its name retained the space. The newspaper was for many years branded as the Sun-Sentinel, with a hyphen, until a redesign and rebranding on August 17, 2008. Paul Pham has held the position of general manager since November 2020 and Julie Anderson has held the position of editor-in-chief since February 2018. It is the largest-circulation newspaper in the area.

It circulates all throughout the three counties that comprise South Florida.

In 1960, Gore Publishing purchased the once-a-week Pompano Beach Sun, and resurrected the 'Sentinel' name it had dropped seven years earlier, and converted it into a new morning newspaper, the Pompano Sun-Sentinel. In 1953, Gore Publishing (who purchased the paper in 1929) changed the name of the paper to the Fort Lauderdale News. That same year, two Ohio publishers bought the Sentinel and the Fort Lauderdale Weekly Herald, consolidating the newspapers into a single daily newspaper, the Daily News and Evening Sentinel.
