The Sentinel, known online as Stoke-on-Trent Live, is a daily regional newspaper circulating in the North Staffordshire and South Cheshire areas of England.

[2] It is the only newspaper delivering daily news and features on professional football clubs Stoke City, Port Vale and Crewe Alexandra.

The Sentinel's patch includes the six towns of The Potteries (Hanley, Burslem, Tunstall, Fenton, Longton and Stoke), Newcastle-under-Lyme, Leek, Cheadle, Cheddleton, Crewe, Nantwich, Alsager, Sandbach, Stafford, Stone, Biddulph, Congleton and Eccleshall.

[4] In 1854, The Staffordshire Sentinel and Commercial and General Advertiser was first published as a Liberal weekly newspaper from offices in Cheapside, Hanley, on 7 January.

In 1892, Thomas Twyford agreed a merger between his own paper, the Staffordshire Post, and the Sentinel, with the apparent objective of removing political leanings.
