Lauri Lebo

Lauri Lebo (born March 18, 1964) is an author, radio station owner and reporter from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Working for the York Daily Record, Lebo was the principal local reporter covering Kitzmiller v. Dover in 2004 and 2005, and was featured prominently in the Nova documentary 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 [ [http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/id/extr-lebo.html Nova Audio:Lauri Lebo - Caught in a Cuture War] ] .
