Pittsburgh's Tribune-Review to become online-only newspaper
PITTSBURGH (AP) - The Tribune-Review newspaper says it will stop putting out its Pittsburgh print edition at the end of November and become an online-only publication.
Trib Total Media said Wednesday that 106 full- and part-time employees will be laid off.
The company will continue publishing print editions of its two suburban editions of the Tribune-Review.
Trib Total Media had announced a second round of buyouts in July, and last month the two top editors of its Pittsburgh newspaper left.
The Pittsburgh publication has been the flagship of the group of western Pennsylvania daily and weekly newspapers that grew to prominence under the ownership of the late Richard Mellon Scaife.
The billionaire died in 2014. His children claim in lawsuits that money to which they were entitled had been spent instead to prop up the newspaper company.
