PITTSBURGH (Newsradio 1020 KDKA) - Another blow is coming to traditional newspapers.
It was announced Thursday that the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is going more digital and will only print three days a week.
Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh Chairman, Jonathan Silver published a letter they received from the publication in a tweet.
More bad news: @PittsburghPG today has notified @michaelafuoco and @PGNewsGuild that it will cut TWO MORE DAYS OF PRINT on Sept. 30, meaning we will print for home delivery only three days a week. Unclear which days will go in this all-digital strategy. pic.twitter.com/IqrNr3Nxdk
