The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the modern iteration of a newspaper that has informed the region since 1786, will cease operations in May, according to an announcement released today by its ownership, Block Communications, Inc.
The paper “plans to publish its final edition and cease operations on May 3, 2026,” according to a release distributed today by Senior Director of Marketing Allison Latcheran. “Over the past 20 years, Block Communications has lost more than $350 million in cash operating the Post-Gazette. Despite those efforts, the realities facing local journalism make continued cash losses at this scale no longer sustainable.”
