Mission Statement

Unlike commercial media which must strive for circulation and viewers and do not want to offend advertisers, NewsLanc.com does not hesitate to praise and to criticize.  No individual or institution is exempt.

Our purpose is to protect the public from the foolish, the provincial, the greedy, and the predatory.

Our principal mission is to help create a better Lancaster.

If you don’t occasionally get angry at what we write, we are not doing our job.  And if you stop visiting because an article made you angry, then you don’t appreciate what NewsLanc is about.

Instead, write us a letter for anonymous publication and take us to task!  NewsLanc should be a forum, not just the product of staff.

Credo

"....I have never made it a consideration whether the subject was popular or unpopular, but whether it was right or wrong; for that which is right will become popular, and that which is wrong, though by mistake it may obtain the cry or fashion of the day, will soon lose the power of delusion, and sink into disesteem." Thomas Paine, Common Sense, on "Financing the War", March 5, 1782
