Pittsburgh is the 23rd largest media market in the United States. While Pittsburgh certainly is not the size of New York or Los Angeles when it comes to market size, we have a very large and skilled sports media group here in the Steel City. Below, I have attempted to put together a comprehensive list of who you should be following if you love Pittsburgh sports. Some will be obvious, but my hope is you will discover some of the lesser-known media members in town who are worth a follow. FYI, I did not include anyone who works for the teams or SportsNet Pittsburgh, you know, so you can get an unbiased opinion from the people you follow. So, without further ado …
