Pittsburgh Press reborn

The Pittsburgh Press, which disappeared from the Steel City in 1992, has been reborn as an electronic edition of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.  The Press was the victim of a crippling strike that shut it down for a year.  At the time the Press was the largest newspaper in Pittsburgh and the closing was a shock to many.  The Press won two Pulitzer Prizes during its long history.  The electronic edition will appear in the afternoon on the Post-Gazette web site and contain 12 to 16 pages daily. Of course, this new version of the Press doesn't mean that Pittsburgh has two newspapers again, but it's good to see the ownership of the Post-Gazette giving a nod to the city's press history.
