The power of story moves populations around the world and here in Pittsburgh


The power of story has, for centuries, moved populations around the world, as it has moved Pittsburgh over its 300-plus years of existence.

Today in our region, that story is challenged by profound job loss of the city’s key storytellers — veteran journalists who made it their passion and profession to chronicle the region at its best and protect it at its most troubled.

Newsapalooza is a celebration of the Pittsburgh story — the people who told it and the stories they told. It is also a day to help continue the story.

Through a series of interactive events featuring local newsmakers, journalists, and esteemed public figures, Newsapalooza will celebrate the value of local journalism while fostering community connection and engagement.

Newsapalooza sets out to showcase more than just journalism. It will be the Pittsburgh story through culture, government, sports, community and more!
