The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, commonly referred to as "the Trib," ranks as the second-largest daily newspaper in the Greater Pittsburgh metropolitan area of Western Pennsylvania. On December 1, 2016, it shifted to an entirely digital format, yet it continues to hold the position of the second-largest daily newspaper in Pennsylvania, attracting nearly one million unique page views each month. Established on August 22, 1811, as the Greensburg Gazette, it merged with several publications to become the Greensburg Tribune-Review in 1889. Initially, its circulation was limited to the eastern suburban counties of Westmoreland and parts of Indiana and Fayette until May 1992, when it expanded its reach to the entire Greater Pittsburgh metropolitan area following a strike that left the city without a newspaper for several months, affecting the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and The Pittsburgh Press.

The publication originated as the Gazette on August 22, 1811. After undergoing various name changes and consolidations, it became the Greensburg Daily Tribune in 1889. In 1924, it merged with the Greensburg Morning Review, which had been established by David J. Berry in 1903, to operate under a unified ownership. Both newspapers maintained separate publications until 1955, when they ultimately combined to create the Greensburg Tribune-Review.

In November 2015, Trib Total Media announced a reduction in home delivery of printed newspapers, shifting its focus towards digital distribution. This restructuring involved the sale of two daily newspapers and six weekly publications to West Penn Media, while two papers, The Daily News in McKeesport and The Valley Independent in Monessen, were closed.
