AND ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST

By Bob Walsh

 


The Pittsburg Post-Gazette will shut down all operations, print and digital, on May 3 of this year, bringing the end to a 240 year institution.  This will leave Pittsburg with no traditional daily newspaper.

The cause of the closure is said to be general market forces and labor costs.  The Block family has owned the paper for over 100 years.  It has lost over $300 million over the last 20 years.
