Journalists at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette are demanding fair working conditions and students at local colleges and universities are paying attention. The Pitt News announced it would stop printing with the Butler Eagle, which has continued to produce the Post-Gazette while workers are on strike. Young people across the city are having conversations about productivity, working conditions, and the future of journalism.
Lilly Kubit, an intern with PublicSource, said she has been finding ways to support the cause. She’s watched the strike come to fruition — one of her writing mentors was involved in the Post-Gazette staff’s previous attempts to negotiate. She said that mentor taught her how to stand up for herself and her work.
