The Terrell County News-Leader was a newspaper headquartered in Sanderson, Texas. The newspaper closed in July 2013.[1]

Christine Hinkle owned and operated the newspaper for a five-year period. She said that her husband used to be involved with the newspaper; he sold advertisements, did typing, and drove to a printer in McCamey. According to Hinkle, her husband was eventually "burned out" by his work.[1] Hinkle sold the newspaper to Jim Street in 2002. Street said that "I never took any money out of it. My little portfolio kept getting littler and littler because I had to keep chipping in. Overall, I think I lost about $25,000, something like that."[1] The newspaper closed in July 2013. According to Street, at the time the circulation was about 500.[1] By November 2013 the Terrell County Sun was established to replace the News-Leader.[1]
