The ''Laurel Leader-Call'' is a thrice-weekly newspaper published Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays in Laurel, Mississippi, USA, covering Jones County. It is owned by Gin Creek Publishing, which purchased the name and subscriber list from CNHI in April 2012. For a century Laurel's only daily newspaper, the paper was founded as ''The Laurel Daily Argus'' August 11, 1911, by Edgar G. Harris. It later changed its name to the ''Laurel Daily Leader'' and, in 1930, the ''Laurel Leader-Call''.〔("Leadercall.com: History" ), accessed March 24, 2007.〕 On September 1, 2011, the paper's owner, Community Newspaper Holdings Inc., announced that the ''Laurel Leader-Call'' would begin publishing on a four-day schedule: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday.〔(''Leader-Call'' to Change from 7- to 4-Day Publication ), accessed September 2, 2011.〕 The newspaper's website continued to provide news, features, sports, photos and video on a daily basis until it shut down nearly seven months later. CNHI folded the ''Leader-Call'' on March 29, 2012. In April the ''Leader-Call'' name and subscriber list was purchased by Gin Creek Publishing, a local business that had published the weekly ''The ReView of Jones County'' since 2007. ''The ReView'' ceased operation and the ''Laurel Leader-Call'' was reborn as a three-day-a-week publication, beginning with the April 19, 2012, edition. New publisher-editor Mark Thornton said that "People who remember when the ''Leader-Call'' was family-owned remember that it was a much better paper then. We plan to restore that proud tradition." ==References== * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Laurel Leader-Call」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
