Welcome to The Sarasota News Leader. This is a virtual (or electronic) news weekly. It is not published on paper. No trees died to produce it; no forests were wiped out. It represents the future of publishing in a world no less in need of information and news, but seeking to preserve the ecosphere on which we all depend.
The Sarasota News Leader is published every Friday, with links to the full edition emailed to all subscribers. It is readable on iPad and Android tablets, iPhone and Android smartphones, and Kindle, Nook and other eReaders with a web-browsing capability, as well as on personal computers.
If you have not done so already, we hope you will subscribe now by entering your email address in the box at the top of the right-hand column. You will receive a confirmation email, to which you must respond to activate your subscription.
With a seasoned staff of award-winning journalists – our editors alone have more than eight decades of combined experience – we provide hard-hitting, in-depth reporting on local government action and the major issues affecting Sarasota County. The news will be combined with fascinating feature stories, arts & entertainment spotlights and the legendary community calendar of This Week In Sarasota, Sarasota’s No. 1 source for events, hot spots, fun activities and hidden gems.
Many of you already are familiar with us from visiting here on our website, where we have been providing the same comprehensive coverage since April. Now our work is provided in an even more complete and captivating form.
Thank you for visiting our website and looking at our publication. We hope you will come to depend on The Sarasota News Leader for all of your Sarasota County news.
