Our desk sits on the north side of the city, a short walk from the bus routes that run down Nonkululeko Dale. If you are coming in for an interview, a photo drop or a story pitch, the address below is the one to put in your phone. Street parking fills up fast on weekday mornings, so the 15-minute walk from the nearest stop is usually the easier call.

Ring the buzzer marked for editorial. The door stays locked outside posted hours, so if you are dropping off prints or a written pitch, use the slot by the entrance and we will pick it up the same day.
For story pitches, corrections and photo submissions, email is the fastest route. Phone calls are best for time-sensitive items like event listings that need to run in the same week.

We read everything that comes in. Most messages get a reply within two working days, though the mailbag weeks run slower when the inbox fills with pierogi arguments.
Story pitches, corrections, photo submissions and questions about the neighborhood archive all land in the same inbox. If you are writing about a specific block, a shop owner or a community event, say so in the subject line so it does not sit behind the general mail.

Phone is best for time-sensitive event listings. Email works for longer pitches and anything with attachments.
Weekend event notices sent after Friday noon usually get read the following Monday.
Neighborhood guides and walkable routes: send the street, the transit stop and the hours you actually checked. Interviews: a short note on who you want to talk to and why now. Photo essays: a few low-resolution frames first, full files only after we reply. Corrections: quote the line and the date it ran.
Most messages get an answer within two to three working days. Pitches that need reporting get a longer read, so allow a week before following up. If a story is tied to a date, mark it in the subject line and we will tell you quickly whether it fits the calendar. Diaspora and expat notes are read by the same desk.
This is the same inbox our contributors use. Pitches for the neighborhood archive, letters for the pierogi mailbag, event listings for the monthly roundup and photo essay ideas all land here. If you are writing from abroad about a move to Pittsburgh, say so in the subject line and we will route it to the diaspora thread.
We read everything. Pitches get a reply within a week; corrections and event listings usually sooner. If a piece needs addresses, transit notes or seasonal details, we will ask before we run it.
