Pittsburgh papers now all digital on some days

August 20 was the first time in 185 years that the people of Pittsburgh had no major printed daily paper to read, NEXTpittsburgh points out.

The Tribune-Review went all digital two years ago, and starting Aug. 25, the Post-Gazette dropped print on Tuesdays and Saturdays, NEXTpittsburgh writer Andrew Conte pointed out. Conte is the founding director of the Center for Media Innovation at Pittsburgh’s Point Park University.

“At this moment, for the average person, I doubt they’ll feel a difference,” Leslie Przybylek, senior curator at the Senator John Heinz History Center, told Conte. “But the moment will come in 20 to 30 years, with the benefit of hindsight.”

“The Post-Gazette and Trib are not going away. Both newsrooms are still doing important stories that expose injustice, speak up for innocents and demand accountability,” wrote Conte.
