The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, also known as "the Trib," is the second largest daily newspaper serving metropolitan Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in the United States. Founded in 1889 as the Greensburg Tribune-Review, the paper circulated only in suburban Westmoreland County until 1992 when it began serving all of the Pittsburgh area after a strike at the two Pittsburgh dailies, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and Pittsburgh Press, deprived the city of a newspaper for several months.
The Tribune-Review Publishing Company is owned by Richard Mellon Scaife, an heir to the Mellon banking, oil, and aluminum fortune. Scaife is a major funder of conservative organizations, including the Arkansas Project; accordingly, the Tribune-Review has long maintained a staunchly conservative editorial stance. The company publishes seven daily papers, one afternoon paper, 10 weekly papers, the Pittsburgh Pennysaver, five magazines, and a plethora of Websites.
The Trib has a conservative editorial page, contrasting with its competitor, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, which has more of a liberal viewpoint.
