The Leitrim Post was a local newspaper covering County Leitrim in northwest Ireland. The paper was one of a series published in the region by River Media and stable-mates included the Donegal Post and Sligo Post. For the first half of 2007 the paper's circulation figures averaged at 4,014.[1] The newspaper followed the same template as other papers in the River Media group with a focus on human interest stories and an emphasis on sport. It was based in Carrick-on-Shannon and competed with another paper called the Leitrim Observer. It was edited by journalist Colin Regan who was also a member of the Leitrim senior football team at the time. The Leitrim Post ceased publication in 2009 due to a decline in advertising revenue and a reduction in staffing levels as a result of the economic crash.[2]
