Ownership and funding
The Dispatch is funded by commissioned placements, which are marked on the page where they appear, and it accepts no funding that comes with a say over the desks. It is not owned by, and does not report on behalf of, any vendor, operator or regulator named in its pages.
The name
Iron City is Pittsburgh’s own nickname, and the publication keeps it because the domain and the archive at this address are Pittsburgh history. The Dispatch half is the publication. The two should not be read as a claim to any older newspaper of a similar name, nor as a connection to the marketing company that used this domain until 2018 — see the disclaimer at the foot of every page.
Technical
The site is static HTML with one stylesheet, no tracking scripts and no third-party embeds in the article template. There is no account system, no newsletter signup and no comment thread, so there is nothing here for a reader to log into. The single exception to “no third-party script” is the message form on the contact page, which is served by fortunida.com and is the only place on this domain where anything a reader types leaves the browser. Both that form and the one key kept in local storage are described in Cookies, forms and measurement.
