| − | The '''''Independent News''''' (abbreviated '''''IN''''') is a free weekly publication serving the Pensacola area. The paper's origins date back to [[1999]], when two free weekly newspapers were founded: the '''''Independent''''', founded by [[Rick Outzen]] in July, and the '''''Florida Sun''''', founded by then-Congressman [[Joe Scarborough]] in November. After struggling to compete for advertising dollars, the two papers merged into the '''''Independent Florida Sun''''' in [[2001]]. It was renamed again to the ''Independent News'' in [[2004]] when Outzen bought back control from Scarborough.

| − | Self-described as "old school, two-fisted journalism,"<ref>[http://inweekly.net/about.asp Official website]</ref> the ''Independent News'' promotes itself as a free-thinking alternative to the larger, Gannett-owned daily paper, the ''[[Pensacola News Journal]]'', which it frequently criticizes. The paper claims a weekly readership of 77,000 through 25,000 copies at 400 distribution points. The editor is [[Duwayne Escobedo]].

| |
| − | The ''Independent News'' was a strong advocate of the [[Community Maritime Park]] project and often criticized opponents [[Charles Fairchild]] and [[Marty Donovan]]. When ''IN'' editor Escobedo joined a panel of moderators for an [[August 31]], [[2006]] televised debate on [[WSRE]], the [[Save Our City]] members threatened not to appear, but later relented. During the debate, Escobedo asked why Save Our City had "demonized" [[Quint Studer]] for his involvement in the project.<ref>[http://routzen.wordpress.com/2006/09/04/marty-tell-us-how-you-really-feel/ Marty, tell us how you really feel] - [[Rick's Blog]], September 4, 2006</ref>
