As your newspaper strike in Pittsburgh has been going on for far too long,
and you folks are probably starved for print news, we at ClariNet have
decided to offer a free ClariNet subscription to any site in Pittsburgh
for the duration of the strike (to a maximum of 3 months.)

ClariNet provides an electronic newspaper in 200 newsgroups, including
UPI news, computer industry news, features, sports, business news and now
even local news and summaries for 35 regions, including Pennsylvania.

Subscribing is easy.  All you need is our script to create the groups,
fill out a form so that we have you on file, and then we get the feed
turned on.  Local feeds will branch out from CMU, and from sites that
get the feed from CMU.

In most cities we advertise that ClariNet gets you the news before the papers
go to print.   That's not such a great feat right now in Pittsburgh, but we
hope you find this useful, and of course we hope you'll keep subscribing
when the strike is over.

If you are a news admin, mail to info@clarinet.com for more details.  If you
are not a news admin, please send inquiries through that person.
