WHY LNP?

LNP maintains a strong, loyal readership through our commitment to the community. We are dedicated to serving the people and businesses that reside in our county.

Newspaper is the most trusted form of media in Lancaster County, and newspaper ads lead to more purchases than ads in magazines, on television, in the mail, or on the radio2.

When you partner with news media, you have access to highly engaged consumers of all ages, on all platforms and at any scale.

Recent studies have confirmed that newspapers are by far the primary source of purchasing information in Pennsylvania.

A survey by an independent research firm, American Opinion Research (AOR), found that 83 percent of Pennsylvania adults, ranging in ages 18 to 34, read a newspaper in print or digitally each week3.

Six-in-ten consumers reportedly make a purchase during an average month after seeing an ad in a printed newspaper or newspaper website3.
