The Leader (Houston)

The Leader is a weekly newspaper published in the Houston Heights, Houston, Texas. It is delivered to residences in the community.[1] In addition to the Houston Heights it is distributed to other northwest Houston communities, including Garden Oaks and Oak Forest.[2]

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]
