The first Leader Building, Regina, Assiniboia
The newspaper was first published as The Leader in 1883, by Nicholas Flood Davin. Published weekly by the mercurial Davin, it almost immediately achieved national prominence during the Northwest Rebellion and the subsequent trial of Louis Riel when Davin's immediate access to the developing story provided scoops which were picked up by the national press. Davin's greatest coup was his jailhouse interview with Riel, which he obtained by masquerading as a francophone priest and interviewing Riel in French under the nose of uncomprehending anglophone watchhouse guards [1]. The Leader merged with another paper, the Regina Evening Post, and continued to publish daily editions of both before consolidating them under the title The Leader-Post. Other newspapers absorbed in due course by the L-P include the Regina Daily Star and The Province.
The Leader Building, Regina, circa 1910
In 1995, the Leader-Post released an electronic version of the newspaper so that subscribers could view their newspapers on the internet. Electronic and daily print subscribers also enjoy access to extra content not available to all readers.
Later that year, the paper and its sister, the Saskatoon StarPhoenix, were acquired from their owner, the Markham, Ont.-based Armadale group, by Hollinger Inc. Hollinger Inc. is based in Toronto, Ontario Canada. It was the parent company of Chicago-based Sun-Times Media Group, whose primary holdings include a group of Chicago newspapers. Notable among them is the Chicago Sun-Times group, a company then headed by then-Canadian media baron Conrad Black Conrad Moffat Black, Baron Black of Crossharbour, PC, OC, KCSG (born 25 August 1944, Montreal, Quebec) is a historian, columnist and publisher who was for a time the third biggest newspaper magnate in the world. He is currently incarcerated at the Coleman Federal Correctional Complex in Florida. Within three months, the staffs at each newspaper had been cut by one-quarter, these cuts becoming a cause célèbre in Canadian journalism.
Black's company subsequently divested itself of the Leader-Post together with most other Canadian news media it had owned, in conjunction with Black's renunciation of his Canadian citizenship in order to obtain an English peerage.
