Just wanted to drop a quick line about your mission statement. Though I find Newslanc a refreshing, oftentimes accurate alternative to the Lancaster newspaper, I think it’s a bit deceiving to say that you have no vested interests and no personal motivations for the content you publish.
Editor’s response: We thank the contributor for the kind words and offer an invitation to identify our “vested interest.” Our “personal motivations” are (1) to expose vultures who pose as benefactors and (2) force the monopoly newspapers to be accurate and unbiased rather than to seek to enrich the owners and their cronies at the public expense. We hasten to add that we have respect for the many good men and women of the local press who work under these very difficult conditions.
