Daily news publication came on the scene at the turn of the century. In 1901, the Daily Leader and its weekly adjunct, the Mount Clemens Press, were born. The Monitor began publishing daily in 1940. In 1942, the Monitor and Leader merged, and the first edition of the Daily Monitor-Leader was published on April 3, 1942. In 1964, the Daily Monitor-Leader was merged with the South Macomb News, a weekly, and the Tri-City Progress, another weekly which served the Warren-Center Line-Utica area. After a brief stint as the Monitor-Progress, the new paper became the Macomb Daily. The Macomb Daily, still published in Mount Clemens, continues to serve as Macomb County's daily newspaper today.

Mount Clemens Public Library holds a fairly complete run of microfilmed newspapers for the years 1882-present. Significant gaps in the run exist for the year 1898, January 1901 - June 29, 1902, November - December 1902, and the year 1922. Visit their web site for a detailed list of their holdings.
