About the Organization
PublicSource inspires critical thinking and bold ideas through journalism rooted in facts, diverse voices and pursuit of transparency. We tell in-depth stories for a better Pittsburgh.
PublicSource was formed in 2011 at a time when people were realizing just how troubled the journalism industry is. With the drop in advertising dollars and shrinking newspapers, in-depth and investigative journalism in Pittsburgh was shrinking, too. PublicSource was created to fill this gap. We strive to be the essential public source of information for Pittsburghers seeking to solve the necessities of their lives and improve their communities.
