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.
