Leader Publications has launched a new website, www.leaderpub.com, that serves as a hub for local news in one easy-to-navigate place.

The websites for four of Leader Publications’ newspapers — Niles Daily Star (www.nilesstar.com), Dowagiac Daily News (www.dowagiacnews.com), Cassopolis Vigilant (www.cassopolisvigilant.com) and Edwardsburg Argus (www.edwardsburgargus.com) — have consolidated into one site. Readers who visit those sites will be automatically redirected to www.leaderpub.com.

Leaderpub.com can be navigated by community, county and school district for those who want to read news about a specific topic.

Leaders’ fifth newspaper, Off the Water, will maintain its website, www.offthewater.com. OTW, launched in April 2009, is a source for local entertainment news.
