LINCOLN DAILY NEWS: TWICE AS GOOD, TWICE A DAY We want all our early morning readers to know that we post LDN continually from the crack of dawn all the way through the lunch hour. That means the LDN you read in the morning isn't the same one you can read in the afternoon. Most days LDN has over 300 pages of news and information, and that takes a while to get posted. Each day is started with the most up-to-date state, national and world news. Local news is added as it becomes available through the morning. Important breaking news is added anytime as it occurs. So, we recommend you visit us at least twice each day. Lincoln Daily News has all the room in the world for good news. All that news does take some time to post. And we don't want any of you to miss any of it.
