Our mission is the same today as it was when the Leader opened its doors in 1994. We are determined to provide our readers with a free, direct-mail newspaper held to a standard of excellence. Up to now, local businesses have made the Leader possible by purchasing advertising. We are grateful for their ongoing support and their demonstrated belief in the Leader as an effective way to communicate with the public. Though this model has worked well in the past, we all know that retail businesses have come under pressure from online competitors. Fewer brick-and-mortar stores means fewer retail advertisers to support the local newspaper. So we’re asking individual readers to step up.
