You may have heard that Pittsburgh is becoming a “news desert.” That story is incomplete.

Across Southwestern Pennsylvania, more than 40 independent newsrooms are at work every day.

Covering school board meetings and borough councils. Investigating policy and power. Reporting on business, sports, culture, and communities across our region.

Local journalism is not disappearing. It is at work. Every day. For you.
