Mission

PublicSource is a nonpartisan, nonprofit, digital-first media organization dedicated to serving Pittsburgh and the region. We provide public-service reporting and analysis, convene communities of shared interests and connect civically engaged citizens with local decision makers.

We listen. We investigate. We tell in-depth stories for a better Pittsburgh.

What We Do

We provide public-service reporting and analysis, and also provide a vehicle for Pittsburghers to tell their own stories through first-person essays -- all at www.publicsource.org.

We also host events in the Pittsburgh area. These events include speakers who present on a topic that supports or aligns with our reporting, and also Citizen's Toolkit classes to teach citizens about topics like researching government data or detecting fake news.
