…we have a favor to ask. The journalism we, at PublicSource, produce is a community asset. And everything we do is with you in mind. But good local journalism is expensive. PublicSource is a nonprofit newsroom. We are also editorially independent and accountable to the readers and community we serve. While we accept money from foundations, PublicSource works diligently to ensure that our journalism is free from influence of our funders. Still, we don’t want to rely solely on foundations forever. And that’s one of the reasons we need your support. Those who read our reporting and believe in its value are also the people who support a sustainable future for PublicSource and the Pittsburgh region. Please consider making a donation to PublicSource now.

We like to think that the success of society can be measured by how much its people are willing to pay for honest and fearless journalism. With your donation, you demonstrate that our community cares about exposing wrongdoing, sharing untold stories and engaging your neighbors in creating a better future for all.
