PITTSBURGH — As the Pittsburgh media landscape experiences a period of significant transition, TribLive is reaffirming its enduring commitment to providing the region with consistent, high-quality local journalism. With a history of covering the city since 1992 and a pioneering shift to a digital-first model nearly a decade ago, the organization stands as a stable and growing resource for the community.
“This is a difficult week for journalism in Pittsburgh, and our thoughts are with our friends and colleagues at the Post-Gazette,” said Jennifer Bertetto, president and CEO of TribLive. “We recognize the profound legacy of their work and the impact they have had on our community for generations. When a pillar of local media changes, it is felt by everyone who cares about the health of our city.”
In this time of change, TribLive aims to provide a sense of continuity for readers who may feel a sense of loss. The organization’s presence in Pittsburgh is built on more than 30 years of service in the city and a broader 200-year history of journalism in Western Pennsylvania. In 2016, TribLIVE made a deliberate, long-term decision to focus its Pittsburgh coverage on a digital-first model, investing in a newsroom designed to operate around the clock and respond in real time to the needs of the community.
“We didn’t make the move to digital-first to step back, but to move forward — to be faster and more connected to this city every single day,” Bertetto said. “We have been serving Pittsburgh for decades, and we are proud of both our history and our future.”
TribLive’s ability to serve readers across the region is supported by its scale and reach. That commitment is reflected not only in words, but in the depth of resources dedicated to local coverage. With more than 80 dedicated staffers, including award-winning reporters, photographers and editors, the Trib maintains one of the largest and most active newsrooms in the state.
TribLIVE.com is among the most-read news sources in the region, reaching 3.5 million unique readers each month. Beyond its digital presence, the company continues to serve neighborhoods through its extensive network of trusted community daily, weekly and monthly publications.
“We understand that when familiar institutions change, it can feel like a loss for the community,” Bertetto added. “But our message today is one of reassurance. Through our award-winning website and our deep community roots, we remain a constant. We have always been here for Pittsburgh, and we aren't going anywhere.”
