C.M. Mortimer, a business reporter for the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review who covered the steel and coal industries, died Sunday following surgery. He was 54.
Tribune-Review staff writer Mary Pickels wrote, “Mortimer’s work covering the coal, steel and the mushroom industries, Oravecz said, led his colleagues on the business desk to jokingly refer to him as the ‘subterranean reporter.’
“‘He was well-liked by everybody on our business staff,’ he said. ‘We all worked together on things, and traded tips and sources. Chuck was very willing to do that and help people further their stories.’
“Mortimer won numerous awards during his tenure with the Tribune-Review, including honors from the Society of Professional Journalists Keystone State Pro Chapter’s Spotlight Contest; a Matrix Award, sponsored by The Association for Women in Communications Pittsburgh Professional Chapter; and a Pennsylvania Newspaper Association Keystone Press Award.”
