History

After buying two local weeklies [lower-alpha 1] in the region in 1980, [2] Cox Enterprises bought the daily Leader in 1985 from owner/publisher James B. Quigley, who had led the paper since 1937. Harry G. Wood, the editor of the nearby Cox newspaper The Port Arthur News , was installed as publisher at that time. [3] [4]

In 1991, Cox sold the Leader and the Port Arthur newspaper to American Publishing Company, which in turn dealt them to Community Newspaper Holdings in 1999. [5] After cutting publication from seven days to three (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday) in 2011 [6] and later to two days, the pair was sold to Boone Newspapers Inc. in 2014. [7]
