In numerous polls, large numbers of Americans say “the media” regularly present “fake news,” ranging from skewing to downright lying.
But they really are talking about the national “media,” a club that’s difficult to define and whose view is insular, to say the least.
A few dozen outlets, from TV networks to national newspapers to online entities, cover Washington, D.C. Their standards for accuracy and fairness, and their journalism credentials in general, run the gamut.
At least 10% of the units will be dedicated for households earning no more than 60% of the area median income under the terms of a pending development agreement.
The purchase agreement, which was entered into on Oct. 28, requires that the State Historic Preservation Office determine the appropriate treatments are in place to avoid and mitigate any adverse effects on the physical features and historic character of Historic Old Central.
Historic Old Central opened in 1892 and was modeled after the Allegheny County Courthouse in Pittsburgh. The Richardsonian Romanesque-style school was designed by Emmet S. Palmer and Lucien P. Hall.
The building served as a regular high school until 1971 and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places a year later.
