Pop City was a weekly online magazine whose content focused on news and features about Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.[2] The content focused on talent, innovation, diversity, and environment. The magazine was published between 2006 and 2015.

History

Pop City was launched in March 2006 on a budget of $200,000.[3] The costs were defrayed by pledges from the Urban Redevelopment Authority, The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust, and the Allegheny Conference on Community Development.

The publication held 39,000 subscribers and a team of two dozen stringers.[4] Though Eve Picker was the first publisher,[5] Tracy Certo ran the publication for eight years. She would later found the spiritual successor NEXTPittsburgh.[6] [7]
