The Gannett-owned Argus Leader in Sioux Falls stands as the largest daily, driving mainstream news coverage across the eastern counties. Further west, Lee Enterprises operates the Rapid City Journal, tracing its origins back to 1878 as a Black Hills mining camp publication. Central and northern circulation is supported by the local Capital Journal in Pierre and the Aberdeen American News.
