Our team brings you local news and information you can’t get anywhere else. We are telling great stories that spotlight the people and projects moving Pittsburgh forward.
As you probably know, local media depends more and more on readers like you who want independent, fact-based reporting that builds communities, celebrates progress and inspires action.
That’s true for NEXTpittsburgh too. Please consider joining our new membership program. It’ll give you unlimited access to all our stories, plus bonus offerings that we’ll be rolling out.
Thanks for considering helping us to connect you with your city.

Freqently Asked Questions
Starting January 1, 2026, we’ll be adding a “light” paywall to the NEXTpittsburgh website allowing all web visitors access to three free articles per month. For most readers, that means your experience won’t change at all. If you want unlimited access, you’ll need to become a member.
It means you can still read three stories for free each month — and articles can be shared with friends. But to go beyond three a month, you’ll need a membership.
