I feel the loss of the Post-Gazette quite keenly, but I am hopeful that the tenacity of the union will hold things together and allow us to resume having a world class paper in a world class City. It is especially sad on this anniversary of the Tree of Life Shooting to see the people […]
This is a public statement from Lisa Cunningham, former editor-in-chief of the Pittsburgh City Paper. She resigned today after nearly 25 years with the publication. Read on to see how the overlords at the Butler Eagle not only undermined the strike of the Post-Gazette employees by printing the paper, but apparently treat their City Paper […]
In honor of Pride Month, the City of Pittsburgh LGBTQIA+ Commission crafted an editorial that was published in today’s Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Today is June 28, 2022. The first day of the Stonewall Uprising began on June 28, 1969. I am sharing the entire piece here which is something I would not normally do. But the […]
I’ve written several blog posts commending a journalist who has recently been revealed to be a serial sexual harasser, to put it mildly. He has stepped down from his leadership role in his union and quit the newspaper he called home for many years. His name is Mike Fuoco. I’m shocked, but not surprised. I’m […]

From the Washington Post And yet the most toxic relationship in American media right now may be between Post-Gazette journalists and its publisher, whose family has owned the paper for nearly a century. That includes the ‘bad’ ones running media […]
I am deeply dismayed that most of the regional media coverage of yesterday’s stunning civil rights win for the LGBTQ community has centered white cisgender and heterosexual folx. I don’t understand how these journalists could have been so deeply embedded in recent events without questioning why all the ‘deciders’ are white cisgender folx? Or incorporating […]
I can’t remember a world without the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. My family subscribed religiously to the PG and the Pittsburgh Press for my entire life. I have vivid memories of pouring through each section from the funny pages to the front pages. I even read the Want Ads just because they were there and being there […]
I was disheartened today to read several PG journalists making generalized rude comments about blogs in response to a piece on Jekko.com about a potential full strike and shutdown of the paper. Jekko can defend themselves quite nicely, but I strenuously object to describing blogs as “reputable” and “not” as if we are all journalist […]
