Three veteran journalists with deep ties to northwest Louisiana are set to lead The Shreveport-Bossier Advocate as the newsroom prepares for its launch this summer. Barbara Leader, who recently served as the editor overseeing The Daily Advertiser in Lafayette and other Louisiana newspapers owned by the Gannett newspaper chain, is set to become The Shreveport-Bossier Advocate's managing editor, Judi Terzotis, publisher of The Advocate and The Times-Picayune, said Monday. "Shreveport-Bossier is a metro area that is hungry for local news coverage," said Leader.
