Pittsburgh deserves worker-centered journalism

Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh journalists and community supporters came together to form the Pittsburgh Alliance for People-Empowered Reporting after the Post-Gazette announced its impending May 3 closure. PAPER exists to research and explore alternatives to the Block-owned PG that would serve as a source of communication and connection that reflects the needs of working-class people in the region. We are actively looking into worker-owned and non-profit models as well as the potential for a truly independent Post-Gazette.
