The New Pittsburgh Courier was there today, Monday, June 8, in front of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette offices, as PG reporter Alexis Johnson broke her silence after being banned from covering George Floyd protests for the paper.
PG management told Johnson she was banned due to a tweet she made on her personal account on May 31. She was banned on June 1. PG management said “bias” was shown in the tweet that she made.
