The News Leader
The News Leader is a daily newspaper owned by Gannett Company, serving Staunton, Virginia and the surrounding areas. The paper was founded in 1904 by Brig. Gen. Hierome L. Opie as The Evening Leader.
While it traces its founding to Opie in 1904, the paper had a predecessor, The Daily News, that was founded in 1890. Opie worked as a reporter for The Daily News, which was a morning paper, before starting The Evening Leader. In 1919 Opie bought The Daily News and combined it with The Morning Leader, a paper he had started to compete directly with The News.
The combined paper was called The Staunton News-Leader. When the papers were combined, the new edition adopted the volume number of The Daily News, so the current edition's volume number goes back further than the 1904 founding date. In the 1960s the Opie family combined The Staunton News-Leader with The Evening Leader and Staunton was left with only one daily newspaper, The Daily News Leader. "Daily" was dropped from the name in 2002.
News
News is packaged information about current events happening somewhere else; or, alternatively, news is that which the news industry sells. News moves through many different media, based on word of mouth, printing, postal systems, broadcasting, and electronic communication.
Common topics for news reports include war, politics, and business, as well as athletic contests, quirky or unusual events, and the doings of celebrities. Government proclamations, concerning royal ceremonies, laws, taxes, public health, and criminals, have been dubbed news since ancient times.
Humans exhibit a nearly universal desire to learn and share news from elsewhere, which they satisfy by traveling and talking to each other. Technological and social developments, often driven by government communication and espionage networks, have increased the speed with which news can spread, as well as influenced its content. The genre of news as we know it today is closely associated with the newspaper, which originated in China as a court bulletin and spread, with paper and printing press, to Europe.

The Post was sold in 1922 and changed its name to Abbotsford, Sumas and Matsqui News. Other sales to new owners occurred in 1938 and 1962. Black Press purchased The News in 1997.

The Leader
by: Chris De BurghI looked to the North, and I turned to the West,
For a sign, a light in the sky,
Oh the message is clear, that the time is near,
For a leader to come again;
A circle of stones on the head of a hill,
Tonight is where it will be,
In this desolate place, we all stand and wait,
For a leader to come again, yes a leader will come again;
For it is written, that a leader will be here,
And then a vision, left me blinded by the light,
