Founded in 1980 in the basement of a Westport record shop, The Pitch is Kansas City’s source for progressive, independent, street-level coverage of news, arts, music, and culture. After more than three decades as an alternative newsweekly, we now publish monthly in print—you can find our issues at over 1,000 locations scattered across the Kansas City metropolitan area—and online every day at www.thepitchkc.com.
An oral history of our first 40 years is available at this link, and our Evergreen Library / Current Greatest Hits page lists some of our favorite stories and most important contributions from the 2020s, if you want a good quick look at what our presence means to this city.
The Pitch LLC, a collection of local business people committed to making sure this publication remains free and vital for the metro, represents the current ownership of the paper.
