I call them the Wisconsin paper of records because the Shawano Leader and Lakeland Times are the only two papers in Wisconsin to report real news. They ask the hard questions to politicians and cover news the way it should and not report liberal bias like all the others in the state.

Letter to our readers

Dear readers:

The holiday season is a time of hope and renewal, so it seems appropriate that we make this announcement as we all prepare for a new year.

Beginning next week, you will see changes in The Shawano Leader that are being made to get the news to you as you want to see it. First, we will begin publishing three weekday editions (Wednesday, Thursday and Friday) and our popular Wolf River Weekend on Saturday and Sunday. Each edition will focus more on local news and less on stories provided by The Associated Press. We will be announcing new features and columns over the next few weeks.

To ensure that you continue to receive local news coverage every day, we are launching a new page — Leader Express — in Tuesday’s Shawano Shopper, and we are beginning an overhaul of our website, shawanoleader.com, where you will see dramatic changes over the next few months.

We’re making these changes, as are other newspapers across the nation, to better align our products with the changing needs of advertisers and readers. We are confident that with the changes we are making, the 129-year-old Shawano Leader will be positioned to bring you the local news you need for many more years to come.

As always, we welcome your comments, suggestions and story ideas.

Roger Bartel, Editorial Director
