Well I have to chime in here. AFAIC the Trib was a nice paper when it was Greensburg. They had several features I enjoyed. When they began evolvling to a PGH paper they dropped alot of the stuff I liked.

But the BIG problem for me is the writing...it's all formated. No personality at all in the news stories. They probably take newbies, kidz from school and have them fill in the blanks. The PG is much better (writing wise) and has more personality despite it's socialist leanings.

Plus the Trib has to upgrade and "burgh-ize" it's want ads more. Of course I don't buy either paper, but I have to read through both everyday at work. I always feel so dirty after wading through the PG editorials...

As it grows, this would be a natural development. The PG still outsells on Sunday by double, roughly, so more people advertise in and look in it for want ads. But the PG numbers are on a steay decline and the Trib is rising. So at some point it will tip and more ads will start appearing.

Oh my, did you read last Sunday's editorial by 2 (it took 2?) "experts" on medicare (or was it social security?), saying "let's worry about today today, tomorrow will take care of itself"? Horrendous.
