Pittsburgh paper to add law coverage to business section

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette said Wednesday that it will launch a new print and online weekly legal news section in partnership with The Legal Intelligencer, the nation’s oldest daily legal newspaper.

An Associated Press story states, “The section, which debuts Monday, will feature bylined news and analysis from both papers, and run in the Post-Gazette’s business section. Coverage will focus on state and regional legal news of interest to business readers. Ads for the print and online versions will be sold by both organizations.

“Three out of four legal professionals in Allegheny County read the Post-Gazette in print or online each week and the section should be of interest to them, said the paper’s president, Christopher Chamberlain.

“The Post-Gazette is owned by privately held Block Communications Inc., which owns newspapers and television stations in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Idaho, Illinois and Kentucky.”
