' The newspaper's broadsheet print edition is published in the morning, seven days per week. 'LNP's online counterpart in LancasterOnline.com.
In 2009, Lancaster's two daily newspapers, the morning Intelligencer Journal and the evening Lancaster New Era, which were both published by Lancaster Newspapers (present-day LNP Media Group) and headquartered in the same building, were merged to form the Intelligencer Journal-Lancaster New Era. Though the Sunday sister paper, the Sunday News, joined the combined newsroom in 2012, it continued to be published under the same masthead until the rebranding in October 2014.
In 2014, the Intelligencer Journal-Lancaster New Era, as well as the Sunday News, were combined, rebranded, and renamed LNP. The first issue of the newly renamed LNP was published on October 16, 2014. Under its current masthead, LNP adopted the tagline Always Lancaster. The rebranding was "aimed at representing and embracing the history of Lancaster County," the brand and the audience, according to the publisher. The slogan also alludes to the abbreviation that was used to refer to "Lancaster Newspapers" for much of the latter part of the 20th century. The paper was redesigned to include a more visually-appealing format and more user-friendly sections and pages.
LNP's current newsroom includes journalists from the former The Intelligencer Journal, Lancaster New Era and Sunday News.
In May 2015, LNP closed its newspaper printing facility in downtown Lancaster, citing the need to improve print quality and upgrade full color options required for every page in the newspaper.LNP newspapers are now printed at a newer facility owned by Advance Central Services Pennsylvania and the PA Media Group in Hampden Township, Pennsylvania, approximately 50 miles northwest of Lancaster. The move allowed LNP to print an additional 60,000 newspapers on weekdays, as well as 80,000 more papers for its Sunday edition.
