Sue Kerr, a blogger in Pittsburgh, has generational ties to the area's news scene. When her father passed away in February, she expected to pay for an obituary in the newspaper, but the cost and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's ongoing strike deterred her. In a first-person essay, she writes about how her father's passing made her consider whether the newspaper obituary may also be on its death bed. ([link removed])
Also this week, we provided more details into the East Ohio Street "restaurant row" deal ([link removed]) and a look atthe history (and future) of Penn Hills’ Black middle-class population ([link removed]) .
Earlier, we launched the third story in our investigative series, EQT's Gas Play. Residents of New Freeport in Greene County have reported skin rashes and contaminated water since a "frack out" in 2022. While EQT claims there is no evidence these symptoms are linked to the episode, environment and climate reporter Quinn Glabicki dug through public records and surfaced a video where EQT inspectors observed a "direct correlation."
