Quick Facts Type, Owner(s) ...

The current title was formed with the merging of The Logan County News and The Democrat in 1911. Then in 1968, employees of the News-Democrat started a paper called The Logan Leader. A few months later, this was merged back into the original company, which published the papers under different names each week. In the 1990s, this was changed to a publication under the combined name of News-Democrat & Leader.

The paper was previously owned by Heartland Publications. In 2012 Versa Capital Management merged Heartland, Ohio Community Media, former Freedom papers it had acquired, and Impressions Media into a new company, Civitas Media.[1] Civitas Media sold the News-Democrat & Leader to Paxton Media Group in 2017.[2]

An unrelated News-Democrat was published in Paducah, Kentucky from 1901 to 1929.
