This will be the last Steelers' playoff run documented by Pittsburgh's newspaper of record.
The Post-Gazette will soon be shutting its doors.
Block Communications announced Wednesday that the Post-Gazette will publish its final edition and cease operations on May 3.
The news took an entire community by surprise.
Running out to grab the Post-Gazette every morning and immediately turning to the sports page is still one of the most vivid and defining memories of my childhood. Incredibly sad and a massive loss to the Pittsburgh media landscape.

Every major sporting story in Pittsburgh for more than two centuries has been documented in those pages.
When I woke up every morning as a kid, I grabbed the sports page of the Post-Gazette. Every single morning.

That paper, those stories, are a big reason why I pursued a career in sports media.
The thought of Pittsburgh without the Post-Gazette is unfathomable. Extremely sad.
The Tribune-Review, owned locally, will continue to publish in Pittsburgh.
The Post-Gazette was a descendant of the Pittsburgh Gazette, which first printed in 1786.
Losing the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is just unbelievable for our city.
