Investigative journalism is vital to a healthy community.
From exposing the identity of a notorious white nationalist trying to launch a newspaper in Lancaster County, to analyzing the effects the PA Farm Bill will have on Pennsylvania farmers, to reporting on misconduct among our state representatives, our gritty, award-winning reporting informs the citizens about issues affecting life in the communities we serve.
By working to expose as many facts as possible, our tenacious journalists are able to provide readers with a more nuanced and complete picture of how government, at all levels, is operating and to hold our elected official accountable.
One example of our team’s commitment to bringing sunlight to the issues: annually, our team files dozens of official requests under Pennsylvania’s Right to Know Law and the federal Freedom of Information Act. Providing the public with a common set of facts and information is imperative in the course by which communities self-govern. Bringing such information to light would not occur if not for the journalists and employees of LNP Media Group.
Our reporting has made a tangible difference in our community and our work has been recognized with prestigious awards. Our publications are a shining example of the influence a newspaper committed to quality local reporting can have in enriching and helping to protect the community it serves. LNP Media Group also serves local businesses through a robust array of print and digital advertising options designed to draw customers in the door.
