A message from Chrystal Walsh, development director

PublicSource is counting on you to help us finish 2019 with a record number of members. We would be grateful if you donated $5, $10 or more.

Below are highlights of messages some of our staff sent over the past month. (Click a name or photo to read the full note.)

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.

|
|
I’m always amazed by the passion our readers have for PublicSource’s coverage of Pittsburgh’s stories.

PublicSource is one of the few nonprofit newsrooms in Pittsburgh. Our “owner” isn’t a far-away media conglomerate with a divisive political agenda. It’s the public. It’s you.
|
|
|
At PublicSource, we’re big fans of facts. No matter the issue — affordable housing, education, environmental sustainability — there’s nothing more important to us than giving residents information they can rely on when making crucial decisions.

Time, how much or how little one has to report, photograph, film, write and record. It determines not just what kind of story you tell but also how you tell it. Here, at PublicSource, time is something we journalists are given to tell important stories with depth and context.
|
|
|
I work at the intersection of journalism, design and technology to make your experience with news and information more enjoyable and entertaining.

As you’re thinking about where to donate your money this year, I want you to picture in your mind all those empty chairs at Neville Township’s board meeting. Imagine how many meetings like that are happening all across our region now. Then decide whether you want one of those chairs to be filled with a reporter.

|
‘Stories for a better Pittsburgh’ is not just a catchy tagline; it is our mantra and our mandate. We recognize though that ‘better’ can look like different things to different people. Our hope is that the journalism we produce spurs the community to come together and find a common vision.

|
P.S. We're reaching out one final time in 2019 because we believe you may be among our most likely donors. I hope you'll prove me right.
