It's amazing to think of everything we've accomplished in five years. @milapgh has invested so much in the @publicsourcepa newsroom and in making local journalism better. She'll be sorely missed, and I'm grateful for the support and for the great team she's helped build.
We're so sad to see @milapgh leave PublicSource, but we will always support her and thank her for her leadership and caring presence. We feel fortunate to have worked beside her and count her as our forever fan.

After @PublicSourcePA and @905wesa chronicled problems at McKeesport housing owned by PNC Bank, the bank is promising "immediate action." New story from @richelord and @KateGiammarise.

An important story on affordable housing and troubling conditions at property owned by PNC Bank, only miles from its headquarters. From @richelord @KateGiammarise and @ryanloew @PublicSourcePA @905wesa
“Get us our maintenance people. Give us somebody in our office who knows what they’re doing. And get our apartments together.” Residents of a McKeesport complex formed a tenant council, not knowing that the landlord was Pgh’s biggest (America’s #7) bank. publicsource.org/affordable-…

Black students at Pittsburgh's universities pushed for important reforms after the murder of George Floyd. They've seen progress, while also shouldering the burden of speaking out. A year later, what's changed? Great reporting from @NaomiJayHarris
Last summer, the country grappled with deadly consequences of police violence and deep-seated problems of white supremacy. How have colleges in Pittsburgh spent the past year to try and make campuses better spaces for Black students, staff and faculty?

It's been an unpredictable, unprecedented year for students, parents and educators. @PublicSourcePA wanted to hear firsthand how the abrupt shift and ongoing reality of remote learning impacted these Pittsburghers.
It's been a year since schools across Allegheny County closed their doors and began virtual learning. PublicSource spoke with more than a dozen students, parents and teachers about what the experience has been like. ow.ly/zMlh50DZ1Ft
Close out your week with excellent accountability reporting from @JulietteRihl on the Allegheny County Jail.
