eginning on Aug 25, the Post- Gazette began implementing its Bdecision to publish only five days per week, making Pittsburgh one of the largest cities in the U.S. without a daily print newspaper, according to The Hill. On Tuesday and Saturday, the paper will run online only, much to the dismay of an older generation of readers. The Post-Gazette has been around al- most as long as the U.S. as we know it, hav- ing just celebrated its 232nd year of publi- cation this past July. But, in light of recent tariffs skyrocketing the cost of newsprint combined with a push to digitize content, many fear that the paper is on its way out. Others, though, see the change as an op- portunity to embrace something modern and new. Steve Mellon is an adjunct professor in Duquesne’s media department, as well as a multimedia editor for the Post-Gazette. “The general trend in the newspaper business is to move toward digital,” he said. “That’s where the readership is. That’s where the growth is.” Another bonus of online content, as Mellon says, is it’s breadth.
