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]].
==Notable Positions==
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>
