At Print We Are Dedicated to Providing Community News

 

Print is a monthly newspaper for the people who live and work in East Liberty, Homewood, Larimer, Point Breeze, Shadyside and Squirrel Hill.

​

Community journalism is often thought of as a small-town phenomenon, but anyone who spends time in Pittsburgh with knows, with our 90 neighborhoods, we are a city of small communities.

​

Print is bringing a hyper-local news approach to the East End because that is our community. We believe there is a need and a demand for the news of where you live, told by skilled journalists.

​

The newspaper exists because we believe the essence of journalism is to connect with the community and tell its stories.
