LNP: LNP’s parent company marked a passing of the torch Thursday when Robert M. Krasne succeeded Beverly R. “Peggy” Steinman as chairman of the Steinman Communications board of directors…
In addition to the daily print newspaper and LancasterOnline, the Steinman enterprises encompass the Fly, La Voz Hispana, Lancaster Farming, Ephrata Review and Lititz Record-Express publications; Intelligencer Printing Company; Steinman Marketing Solutions; The Pressroom Restaurant; Delmarva Broadcasting Company, which owns 12 radio stations in Delaware and Maryland; Steinman Real Estate LLC; and an investment in Penn Square Partners, the private entity that owns the franchise for the Lancaster Marriott at Penn Square hotel that adjoins the Lancaster County Convention Center…

When is LNP going to call on the carpet the Mayor, the Police Chief and our Judges for the lawlessness prevalent on our streets?
If by ‘sound business practices’, you are referring to PSP robbing from the poor (taxpayers) to give to the rich (themselves)….well you are certainly correct on that one.
‘Respectable reporting’?…..by who. when, on what??????
EDITOR: It wasn’t that many years ago when articles in LNP were factually incorrect and slanted, often as much due to reporter and editor incompetence as anything else. When this occurs these days, please bring it to our attention.
