FoundingThe newspaper was first published as The Leader in 1883 by Nicholas Flood Davin, soon after Edgar Dewdney, Lieutenant-Governor of the North-West Territories, decided to name the then-vacant and featureless site of Pile-O-Bones, renamed Regina by Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll, wife of the then Governor General of Canada, as territorial capital rather than previously established Battleford, Troy and Fort Qu'Appelle, presumably because he had acquired ample land on the site for re-sale. "A group of prominent citizens approached lawyer Nicholas Flood Davin soon after his arrival in Regina and urged him to set up a newspaper. Davin accepted their offer{{spnd}}and their $5000 in seed money. The Regina Leader printed its first edition on March 1, 1883."[2] Published weekly by the mercurial Davin, it almost immediately achieved national prominence during the North-West Rebellion and the subsequent trial of Louis Riel. Davin had immediate access to the developing story, and his scoops were picked up by the national press, briefly bringing the Leader to national prominence. Davin's greatest coup was sending his reporter Mary McFadyen Maclean to conduct a jailhouse interview with Riel. Maclean obtained this by masquerading as a francophone Catholic cleric and interviewing Riel in French under the nose of uncomprehending anglophone watch-house guards.[3] Growth and absorbing competitorsHaving begun with a small wooden shack before Regina had full streets, or electricity and plumbing outside Government House, The Leader soon moved to a substantial office building on the southwest corner of Hamilton Street and 11th Avenue, one block east of what was then the post office, southwest across street from City Hall. It then moved to a multi-story building across Hamilton Street to the south of the Simpson's department store. It ultimately relocated in the 1960s to east-city outskirts on Park Street at Victoria Avenue, where it still remains. In 1995, the Leader-Post released an electronic version of the newspaper so that subscribers could view their newspapers on the Internet. Electronic and daily print subscribers also enjoy access to extra content not available to all readers. Corporate ownershipDecline of local news coverage radically occurred later that year{{when|date=June 2012}} when the paper and its sister, the Saskatoon StarPhoenix, were acquired from their owner, the Markham, Ontario-based Armadale group, by Hollinger Inc., a company then headed by then-Canadian media baron Conrad Black. Within three months, the staffs at each newspaper had been cut by one-quarter, these cuts becoming a cause célèbre in Canadian journalism.{{citation needed|date=June 2012}} The event with substantial elimination of staff and coverage of local news corresponded with one at the Regina television station CKCK-DT, once locally owned but by 1985 no longer so. An immediate effect was a significant reduction in coverage of local and provincial news, and a greater coverage of national events. Loss of news reporter staff, the increasing television news coverage and the arrival and growth of the internet all increased difficulty in preserving, much less increasing, the Leader-Post{{'s}} significance.{{citation needed|date=June 2012}} Black's company subsequently divested itself of the Leader-Post, together with most other Canadian news media it had owned, in conjunction with Black's renunciation of his Canadian citizenship in order to obtain an English peerage. Eventually branding itself as the Regina Leader-Post, the newspaper shut down its printing facilities in 2015 in favor of being printed in Saskatoon with the press of The StarPhoenix.[5] CirculationLike most Canadian daily newspapers, the Leader-Post has seen a decline in circulation. Its total circulation dropped by {{formatnum: {{#expr: abs(100 - (34136 / 48611 * 100)) round 0}}}} percent to 34,136 copies daily from 2009 to 2015.[6] See also
