Pittsburgh newspaper consolidation timeline
The Pittsburgh Commercial was a morning daily newspaper published from 7 September 1863[1] to 14 February 1877[2] in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It was outspokenly Republican in its political commentary.[3] Its succession of chief editors included Thomas J. Bigham, Charles D. Brigham, and Russell Errett; poet Richard Realf was an assistant editor.[4] The owners of the competing Pittsburgh Gazette eventually purchased the Commercial and consolidated the two papers as the Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette.[5][6]
