History

''The Leadwood Press'' was founded on January 10, 1930, by Rev. S.M. Brumfield. In 1935, the paper was moved to Flat River. In 1940, it was published three times a week under the name the ''St Francois County Journal''. On September 3, 1946, the St Francois County ''Daily Journal'' was published for the first time. Noah A. Grieg was a big part of the paper becoming a daily publication. Madison County's newspaper, the ''Democrat News'', also ran in the area as well. Later on, the ''Democrat News'' was bought by Lee Enterprises and started running with the ''Daily Journal'' in the Fredericktown area.
