Leader Publications has updated the look of its website.
The revamped site, myleaderpaper.com, has a crisper, more modern look and is easier for readers to navigate.
“We are proud of the look of our redesigned website and believe readers will enjoy the new look and find it easier to locate stories that interest them,” Leader publisher Peggy Scott said.
The revamped site, which went live on Aug. 10, is updated daily with stories about what’s happening around Jefferson County and Eureka. That includes stories about accidents, crime, sports and much more.
Readers still will find feature stories about area residents and information about upcoming events and activities around the county.
The Leader also publishes obituary information about local residents on its website on an almost daily basis.
The website also features news about area businesses, schools and other organizations.
Leader food columnist Kathleen Brotherton writes a My Leader Yummy column, accompanied by a recipe or two, for the website each week, and reporter Kevin Carbery writes a weekly Pet Spot feature and set of five trivia questions called Trivia Two Ways for the website.
John Winkelman’s Outdoors column is posted weekly on the website, as is sports editor Russell Korando’s Athlete of the Week feature.
“Along with our print editions, the Leader strives to keep everyone informed through our website,” Scott said.
The Leader publishes three weekly papers – the Arnold-Imperial Leader, the West Side Leader and the Jefferson County Leader, which covers the south part of the county. The Leader also publishes the Eureka Leader every two weeks.
The redesigned website makes it easier to find the e-editions for each of those papers, with a button to click in the top left corner of the home page.
Readers also may find the Leader’s Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram pages by clicking on icons on the top right side of the page.
“There is something for everyone in our print editions and on the website,” Scott said. “We hope everyone continues to enjoy having the Leader delivered free to their homes or places of business, while also finding our website an excellent companion piece to the newspaper and a way to remain informed.”
