History edit
Anne Sloan, author of Houston Heights, wrote that circa the 1950s The Leader was "floundering".[1] At one point a man with the family name Burge acquired the publication, and according to Sloan Burge "brought" the publication "back to life in 1957."[1] The man's son, Terry Burge,[1] became the owner and publisher of the newspaper, serving in that role from circa 1970 to 2012.[3] In 2012 McElvy Media, LLC, headed by Jonathan McElvy, acquired the publication.[2]
