context_page_description: The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, also known simply as the PG, is the largest newspaper serving metropolitan Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Descended from the Pittsburgh Gazette, established in 1786 as the first newspaper published west of the Allegheny Mountains, the paper has existed under its present title since 1927. It ended daily print publication in 2018 and currently puts out print editions only three days a week, going online-only the rest of the week. It has a politically conservative editorial tone, having shifted in recent years from a more liberal-leaning orientation.
