Overview
- The transfer of LNP|LancasterOnline’s assets to Always Lancaster is subject to review by Pennsylvania’s attorney general, with Pennon saying the deal is expected to close by month’s end.
- David Greene, a former NPR host and Lancaster native, will serve as interim publisher during the transition.
- Executive editor Tom Murse will remain in his role, and general manager Chris Fidler will serve as interim president before taking the position permanently after closing.
- Pennon says operations will continue without interruption, and the new nonprofit plans a Community Advisory Panel and listening sessions after the deal is finalized.
- Leaders frame the nonprofit shift as a route to sustain local coverage and preserve roughly 120 jobs, following recent financial pressures under Pennon’s stewardship.
