You may republish this PublicSource story in full online or in print under the conditions stated below. You may also choose to republish the first 12 paragraphs with imagery and link to PublicSource for the full story. All you need to do is copy the HTML code we provide on this page and paste it into your CMS. That should give you the story text, along with photos from the body of the article when possible, and it will also fulfill the obligations below.

Here are your obligations under our republishing guidelines:

• Give us credit, in this format: “by [Author Name(s)], PublicSource”.
• Include a line at the top of the story that reads:“This story was originally published by PublicSource, a nonprofit newsroom serving the Pittsburgh region. For more of its journalism, visit www.publicsource.org.” 
• In the html code of the page, include:
  • A “canonical” meta-tag that points back to the url of the story on PublicSource (this is included in the code to the right.)
  • A line of javascript that helps us keep track of hits. It’s already in the code to the right.
• Let us know when you use our work by sending an email to audience growth & engagement producer ds@publicsource.org.

By republishing our story, you agree to the following conditions:

• You can’t edit, cut or alter the story, except to suit your in-house style (e.g. % vs. “percent,” honorifics, etc).
• You must not resell the story or sell ads against the story. It’s fine to publish the story on a page that’s surrounded by previously sold ads, however.
• The credits and promotions specified above must be included in any work published or submitted for syndication to third party platforms or apps like Apple News or Google News.

If you share the story or a link to the story on social media, please tag us on Twitter (@publicsourcepa), Instagram (@publicsource), Facebook (@publicsource) or TikTok (@publicsource).
