Trump-Endorsing Pittsburgh Paper to Shut Down After 100 Years

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, a major daily newspaper, will close permanently on May 3. The announcement ends its nearly 100-year history. The paper was notable for its 2020 presidential election endorsement. It broke with a long tradition of supporting Democratic candidates to back Republican Donald Trump. No specific reason for the shutdown was given in the brief announcement. The closure reflects the severe financial challenges facing many local newspapers across the United States. The Post-Gazette's end leaves Pittsburgh with one major daily print newspaper, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
