The Pittsburgh Press
The Pittsburgh Press, now defunct, was a major daily newspaper in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It was one of many city newspapers published prior to the First World War. In 1924 it was acquired by the Scripps-Howard Syndicate. After a strike in 1992, Scripps-Howard sold the Press to Blade Communications, Inc., the owners of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, who promptly ceased printing the Press. The sale required a ruling by the U.S. Department of Justice. The Sunday edition was popular with readers because of its two comics sections, which included Prince Valiant, Peanuts, Dick Tracy, Blondie, Gordo, Priscilla's Pop, and Jest in Pun, among many others, and because of the four inserted magazines: Press TV Guide, Family, Roto, and Weekly.
