Daily Commercial

Leesburg, Florida, US • 44 Employees
Newspapers

In December of 1875, George Pratt, the son of a minister, launched the first edition of The Daily Commercial, known then as The Sumter County Advance, in Leesburg. Leesburg was the Sumter County seat at the time. In 1887, many new county lines were added to Florida's map. Lake County was carved from portions of Sumter, Marion, and Orange, making Leesburg a part of this new county. On July 12, 1875, only five months before the first edition of The Daily Commercial was produced, Leesburg was incorporated. The paper has evolved in response to the area's growth. It was known for many years as the Leesburg Commercial, but the name now reflects the paper's commitment to both Lake and Sumter counties. We also acquired the South Lake Press, which provides south Lake County with community news and information. We are committed to journalistic excellence, educating readers, promoting community understanding and advancing causes to help the community grow. We believe fairness, leadership, and profitability are cornerstones of the newspaper's editorial and financial independence. The Daily Commercial and South Lake Press are concerned about customers and employees. We promote employee teamwork and encourage each person to strive to his or her full potential as a member of our newspaper team. The Daily Commercial - “A great way to start your day” in print and online.
