The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is ceasing operations on May 3, it announced Wednesday, following a series of legal losses that capped off a years-long labor strike. 

Block Communications Inc., the Post-Gazette’s parent company, said it has lost more than $350 million operating the paper over the last two decades. The company said that the realities facing local journalism make “continued cash losses at this scale no longer.”

The union said in a release Wednesday that the company has spent years “wasting millions of dollars losing court battles to deny their workers’ basic rights,” and noted employees had not received any across-the-board wage increases over the prior 20 years. 

The paper was founded in 1786 and formed under its present name in 1927, via a merger of the Pittsburgh Gazette Times and The Pittsburgh Post. It has an average paid circulation of more than 83,000 subscribers and produces print editions on Thursdays and Sundays, according to its website.

I wish the general public were smart enough to recognize that a well funded local media would be great at keeping our politicians in check and spotting fraud and abuse.  But too many expect if they are paying for it then it needs to be on “their side”.

She is, isn't she? I wouldn't trust her to not defect to RWM a la Lara Logan.

Was that Biden headline from the Bezos Post? Because that's the only way this tweet makes sense.

That's because they don't want the truth. They want their truth.

I would imagine MSNBC/MSNOW is exact opposite of the one on the left?

[romad1]

I'm interested in the UK, Canada and Australia talking about banning X in their countries.  That's a move in the right direction to restoring democracy.  

[pfife]

Doesnt msnow actually have Republicans hosting shows?  

They also didnt settle for 775m for lying

Theyre not different sides of the same coin from fox

[Motown Bombers]

MSNBC literally has a republican who went groveling to Mar-A-Lago hosting their main morning show.

Nothing says freedom like banning speech you don’t like.

Society is due for a paradigm shift. We used to think of speech as in individual thing, but with the internet that's become a concept that needs updating. What we have now is an information space we all live in, and just like the air we breathe and the water we drink, the informations space, or more properly the information environment, can be come polluted to the detriment of us all, just like water and air do. And the reason there is a difference is because in the 18th century you never had to worry about the information you needed literally being drowned out by the noise. We used to have a problem with things not heard because they were suppressed, today the much bigger problem is that things can't be heard because they are drowned out, buried in the noise of the for profit information machine. It's not clear how to navigate the new world, but we have to get over too slavish a devotion to the systems of a world that no longer exists.

That’s not speech. It’s a product. A vessel. Individual are still free to write and talk.  Freedom of speech doesn’t include the right to an audience.
