The Anaconda Leader, a twice-weekly newspaper that had served its community in southwest Montana for more than half a century, announced Monday that it had closed. Its demise follows a nationwide trend of local outlets struggling to stay in business.
The newspaper published its last print edition Friday, according to editor James Rosien. In a story posted Monday on its website, owner Van Neitz cited inflation and rising operational costs as the reasons for the closure. Montana Free Press could not reach Neitz for comment.
