Our Purpose
Our Purpose
At The Leesburg Times Company, we exist to inform, connect, and uplift the Leesburg, Ohio community—and the broader region we serve. Our purpose is rooted in the belief that news should be clear, accessible, and community-driven, without bias or political influence.
We were founded on the idea that local voices matter. Whether it’s sharing the stories of small businesses, first responders, municipal workers, or everyday residents, our goal is to ensure that every voice is heard and every achievement is recognized.
Through our publications—The Leesburg Times and The Frankfort Dispatch—we provide weekly updates, news articles, daily quotes and songs, podcasts, shows, and more, keeping our communities informed and engaged. Beyond reporting, we strive to strengthen community ties, celebrate local successes, and provide a platform for meaningful conversations.
While we are not legally classified as a nonprofit, our approach is nonprofit-in-practice, meaning we do not generate profit from our work. Instead, we dedicate ourselves to serving the community with transparency, integrity, and a genuine passion for storytelling.
At The Leesburg Times Company, our purpose is simple but powerful: to be a trusted voice for our towns, to bring clarity to the news, and to celebrate the people who make these communities thrive.
