Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review is an American newspaper, and the third largest newspaper in the state of Pennsylvania. Its publisher is Richard Mellon Scaife and the daily is generally considered to have a conservative opinion page.
One of the most famous incidents for the paper was the "Shove it" incident in July 2004, during the American presidential campaign. An op-ed piece published in the opinion section had been critical of Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry's wife Teresa Heinz.
At a July 26 speech at the Massachusetts State House, the Tribune-Review editorial page editor Colin McNickle had asked Heinz Kerry to clarify a statement she made before a group of reporters and Pennsylvania delegates to the Democratic National Convention. She told him, "You're from the Tribune-Review— understandable. You said something I didn't say. Now shove it." The comment received wide attention in the media.
Since its founding more than a decade ago following a press strike at the two previously dominant dailies, Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reporters have won a number of awards. Carl Prine, an investigative reporter for the newspaper, conducted a probe with the CBS news magazine 60 Minutes that highlighted the lack of security at the nation's most dangerous chemical plants following the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. Prine and another Tribune-Review reporter, Betsy Hiel, won several top awards for their combat coverage during the invasion of Iraq.
During the war, the Tribune-Review launched an afternoon tabloid, Trib PM, that now controls the evening newspaper market.
Both newspapers compete against the larger Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
