Lauri Lebo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lauri Lebo, a reporter for the York Daily Record, was the principal local reporter covering Kitzmiller v. Dover in 2004 and 2005, and was featured prominently in the Nova documentary Judgment Day: Intelligent Design on Trial both because of her coverage and because her father, who owned Christian radio station WWII-AM in Harrisburg, sided with the Dover school board in the controversy^[1].

An award winning^[2] journalist for over 20 years^[3], Lebo left reporting to write a book about the Kitzmiller trial and its effects on Dover, PA - The Devil in Dover. Lebo's coverage of the case inspired her husband, Americana singer-songwriter Jefferson Pepper, to name his history-themed album "American Evolution".

After her father's death, Lebo, a disk-jockey at WWII-AM in its prior incarnation as an oldies station, became its owner. She has testified on media ownership to the FCC^[4] both as a reporter and a station owner.
