A message to Trib readers from the CEO: We are prepared to serve you

To all of our readers:

Trib Total Media is prepared to serve you through the challenging days and weeks ahead. We will provide the news you need to understand the coronavirus pandemic, keep you informed about local actions taken for public safety and report the story of our community pulling together in an extraordinary time.

Newspapers have always served as “the public square.” Today, in addition to our print products, we have many methods to fulfill that role.

Go to TribLIVE.com for up-to-the-minute news and comprehensive coverage. If you use social media, please follow TribLIVE on Facebook and Twitter to be alerted to breaking events. Our Neighborhood News Network is built upon the 14 weekly papers that serve their communities directly. Many are accompanied by websites tailored to their audience — see TribLIVE.com/local for the full menu.

Remember also that our two Tribune-Review print editions — Westmoreland and Valley News Dispatch — are available online as digital replicas. Go to e.triblive.com to view them. We have made them free of charge until the coronavirus crisis has subsided.

Like every organization, we are taking steps to ensure the health of our staff. The reporters and photographers who go into the field will be taking every recommended precaution. The production of the newspaper itself will meet all guidelines to maintain safety.

The spread of the coronavirus is taking us all into uncharted territory. Trib Total Media is committed to standing with you, our readers throughout Western Pennsylvania, to remain safe, healthy and vigilant — and to help you stay informed about this unfolding public health emergency.

Yours sincerely,

Jennifer Bertetto

President and CEO
