The Pittsburgh City Paper is Pittsburgh's leading alternative weekly newspaper which focuses on local news, opinion, and arts and entertainment. It bought out In Pittsburgh Weekly in 2001.[1]
The Pittsburgh City Paper is a free publication and is distributed in most neighborhoods throughout the Greater Pittsburgh Area every Wednesday, with about 70,000 copies printed weekly[2].
The City Paper was originally based in Duquesne, Pennsylvania, and the paper is in its nineteenth year of print. Like most alternative weeklies, the publication tends toward a left-wing viewpoint. Pittsburgh City Paper's slogan is "All Paper, No Plastic."
The Pittsburgh City Paper is independently and locally owned by Steel City Media, and has no business relationship with other "City Paper"s found in other cities such as the Washington City Paper and Philadelphia City Paper.
