Description

The Pittsburgh Press, now defunct, was a major daily newspaper in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
It was one of many competing city newspapers published prior to the First World War including
The Hearst Corporation owned Pittsburgh Sun-Telegraph, the Pittsburgh Dispatch, and the
Block Communications owned Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. At one time, the Press was the second
largest newspaper in Pennsylvania, behind only the Philadelphia Inquirer.

After a strike in 1992, Scripps-Howard sold the Press to Blade Communications, Inc., the
owners of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, who promptly ceased printing the Press.
It was essentially folded into the Post-Gazette.
