Turkey Hill Was Paid to Distribute Lancaster Post

The Following is courtesy of the Lancaster Independent Press of June 16 / 17:

"Ron Harper, Jr. said by telephone today that Turkey Hill was being paid by the Lancaster Post to distribute the paper there... So, while the paper is free, Turkey Hill was making money off their distribution of the paper. And Harper said today he absolutely believes Turkey Hill was pressured.

"He is working on other distribution means and reports that everywhere he goes people are supportive of the paper. He said that over 100,000 people to date have downloaded at least one issue of the paper from their website. He said this past Sunday morning over 2,000 people downloaded the most recent edition. Those are impressive numbers and indicative of how much the citizens of Lancaster County want an alternative news source."
