PittPoint

Open call for News Stories!
The Public Square Project is now accepting news story submissions for the upcoming launch of its citizen journalism publishing platform and online community news site, PittPoint. Is there a story in your neighborhood that is not being adequately covered by the mainstream media? Or a public policy issue that you think deserves more attention? 
Then submit your story idea here today! 
We will be accepting story ideas for the first edition of PittPoint until Tuesday, May 19th. You'll then have a few weeks to work with our editors to report and write your story. See below for more details.
