(Yet) Another Newspaper

After the November elections, you can expect to see another newspaper around town (or at least around Capitol Hill): The Capitol Leader.

The Capitol Hill newspaper will join Roll Call and The Hill Newspaper and is financed by local media mogul Joseph L. Albritton, who owns Channel 7/WJLA (as in W Joseph L. Albritton) and NewsChannel 8. Albritton’s son will run the newspaper. Albritton is also a one-time owner of The Washington Star.

The initial plan is to publish once a week and, if things go well, move to twice a week after a year and maybe even three times a week eventually.

The paper is currently hiring reporters and production/advertising staff.
