Check out Time magazine's list of the ten daily newspapers that are most in danger of folding or going all-digital.
Pittsburgh isn't on the list. But the P-G's news hole is looking mighty small.
Meanwhile, Pittsburgh's Public Square Project is hosting workshops for new citizen journalists. Come, get a little training, write a better blog, help restore democracy in America.
The next one is this Thursday evening, March 12. I've agreed to show up and give a pep talk. Maybe I'll meet you there?

About Pittsblog
Updated September 2020:
Pittsblog 2.0 was written by Mike Madison, a law professor at the University of Pittsburgh, from January 2004 through December 2011.
Since then, Pittsburgh-themed essays have appeared from time to time at madisonian.net, on law and technology, and in some of Pittsburgh's classier professional media venues.
Chris Briem of Null Space drops by Pittsblog from time to time.
All opinions expressed at Pittsblog 2.0 are those of their respective authors and of no one (and no thing) else, least of all the University of Pittsburgh.
Pittsblog 2.0 has a motto: "It's steel good in Pittsburgh." Say it aloud, with a Pittsburgh accent.
