The story has now gained national attention.

Participants told Channel 11 they hope their action will hold the Post-Gazette accountable.

In a statement to the Washington Post, the Post-Gazette's publisher and editor-in-chief said this is an internal, personnel matter that has little to do with politics, ideology or President Trump.
