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.
