It’s been a big year for us at PublicSource. From ambitious collaborations to investigative projects to memorable first-person stories, our newsroom has been living the present and future of local journalism. We do things differently than a lot of legacy publications.
So far this year, we’ve published almost 300 stories and hosted 20 events, we informed and engaged thousands of residents on issues important to Pittsburgh, Allegheny County and our region. We work hard to do it right.
But there is more work to be done. And we need to think big. In our city and in our region, we need quality journalism more than ever. As a newsroom, we could deliver more quality reporting and dig deeper in 2020. Our hope is our readers. If you think of local journalism as public good, please consider pitching in and supporting PublicSource.
