A three-part series of articles published by the
Leader Herald in 2017 on the
Ku Klux Klan's presence in the community were the subject of criticism. Critics including
Gloversville Mayor Dayton King said the article overestimated the number of Klan members in the area, made multiple factual errors, and resembled a "recruiting effort" for the KKK. In 2021, the paper's owner The Nutting Company, which is a owned by
Ogden Newspapers, sold it to
The Daily Gazette Co. ==References==
