The flagship publication for Gallatin Publishing Company is the rural county seat weekly

flag, including Wesley L. Robertson, who is recognized as Missouri's newspaper martyr after
being shot and killed in 1919 while performing his journalistic duties. The North
Missourian changed to tabloid format in 1996 with the advent of desktop publishing
capabilities. The newspaper's present paid circulation exceeds 2,200 copies each week.
