PublicSource was created to address the growing gap in in-depth reporting in Pennsylvania. We are an independent nonprofit covering the stories of Western Pennsylvania, including Pittsburgh, Allegheny County and the surrounding areas. Journalism is sometimes called the "first rough draft of history." PublicSource takes time and care to produce the people's history of Pittsburgh, through investigations of local issues, analysis of complex topics, first-person narrative essays as told by community members and workshops or events that expand on our reporting. We welcome creative partnerships with other organizations. More information is available at: https://www.publicsource.org/advertisements-and-sponsorships/
