PITTSBURGH —  The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette will be shutting down their operations with a final edition slated for May 3, 2026.

The announcement comes from Block Communications, the owner of the Post-Gazette. Block Communications said the closure comes after losing "more than $350 million in cash operating the Post-Gazette" over the past 20 years. In addition, they cited the recent decision that ruled in favor of the paper's union, restoring the terms of their 2014-17 contract. ...
[H]umanity repeats the worst mistakes of previous generations and ... every free, prosperous civilization will eventually be destroyed by that small fraction of its people who find no satisfaction in anything but anger.

The P-G was always the liberal rag in town. When I was a child, there was another newspaper, the Pittsburgh Press. But it died in 1992.
