The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is preparing for significant layoffs and its eventual closure, with union workers expecting to lose their jobs in May 2026. On February 18, 2026, a podcast analyzing the developments suggested that workers had won a strike, leading to their management's decision to close the operation. Earlier, on February 10, 2026, reports indicated that approximately 170 journalists and staff are expected to be laid off when the newspaper, which has covered Pittsburgh for nearly 240 years, publishes its final edition on May 3. This follows the January 20, 2026, announcement that the Post-Gazette would shutter its operations, an event that occurred a week after the Pittsburgh City Paper ceased production in December.
