NewsLanc broke three stories in a matter of four days: Lancaster County prison inmate abuse, Ronald Bailey failing to identify himself as an employee of an F&M subsidiaries when he attacked TRRAAC in a Sunday News op-ed, and Fulton Bank applying for a federal "bail out."

In all three cases, readers tipped us off to stories that they felt were unlikely to be carried in the local press.

Such reader participation is essential for NewsLanc to be a valuable alternate source of news and commentary. The more people contribute in the way of leads and letters, the better we can serve the community.
