RIP, In Pittsburgh (1984-2001)new
"I feel horrible about this, really," says Scott Mervis, who joined In Pittsburgh in its early days and now edits the weekly "Mag" pull-out at the local daily. "In Pittsburgh was an institution that got built up over 17 years and for it to disappear overnight is an incredible loss, I think." Several other former IP staffers agree, including Pittsburgh City Paper Editor Andy Newman, who pays his respects to the paper that introduced alternative journalism to Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh City Paper Buys In Pittsburgh Weeklynew
The deal between Steel City Media and Review Publishing was announced to both staffs at 2 p.m. yesterday, reports the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. In a press release, Review
calls the deal an asset sale, and President Anthony Clifton praises the In Pittsburgh staff but says he was forced to sell "because the paper has not become economically self-supporting." City Paper Editor
Andy Newman, who previously
edited his former crosstown
rival, tells the Post-Gazette, "I have to say I felt very somber about
it. There are people over there that we like
and respect ... We know this is a contact sport but it is not good news when the
other guy hits the mat."
