As journalists, we provide the truth the public deserves and has a right to know. For Polluted Pittsburgh, we shine a light on the environmental horrors that exist in Western Pennsylvania, specifically the Pittsburgh region.

​

Polluted Pittsburgh is a project from School of Communication students at Point Park University. After reporting for roughly four months straight, the students of Christopher Rolinson's Multiplatform Magazine Reporting class present Polluted Pittsburgh: a comprehensive investigation of the environment in and surrounding Pittsburgh and the pollutants and contaminants that the city's residents may come in contact with nearly every day.

​

We offer alternatives, advice and ask the questions the average person may not - but most importantly, we report this information to you.
