The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette published its own article on Rogers’ firing that included a statement from the newspaper’s chief human resources officer, Stephen Spolar.

“The Post-Gazette does not provide details about employment matters, but in light of Mr. Rogers’ public comments today, we do want to acknowledge his long service to the newspaper and our community. Any further discussions will be conducted with Mr. Rogers as a private matter,” Spolar said in the statement.

Spolar did not immediately respond to ABC News’ request for comment Friday.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette also reported that its editorial director, Keith Burris, had nixed a number of Rogers’ cartoons in recent weeks, including some depicting Trump.

In an interview with one of the newspaper’s reporters, Burris said he didn’t “suppress” Rogers’ sketches but was trying to address the “tone and frequency” of his cartoons about the president.

“I asked for broader topics and could they be funnier?” Burris told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Burris did not immediately respond to ABC News’ request for comment Friday.

Earlier this month, Rogers posted a series of tweets explaining that he would be taking some vacation days until “issues” between him and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette were resolved.

“I love what I do. Now, more than ever, I believe in the power of satire and the public dialogue that it can create,” he tweeted on June 6. “I can’t get into specifics here, but I felt that it was best under the circumstances to take some vacation days until issues with the Post-Gazette are resolved.”

A week later, just before his firing, Rogers tweeted that those issues remained “unresolved,” as did his “employment status.” He posted a cartoon he had sketched about the Singapore summit between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, which did not appear in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette last published one of Rogers’ editorial cartoons on June 5 — a sketch criticizing the United States for waging a trade war with Canada, Mexico, and Europe. His last cartoon to appear in the newspaper before that was on May 24 — a sketch lambasting the Republican-led Congress alongside a remark from Rogers, saying, “I really hope the midterm elections stick it to cowardly Republicans who won’t stand up to Trump or defend the rule of law. Disgusting.”

Rogers, who has been critical of Democrats as well, continued to produce cartoons during his absence from the newspaper, posting his work on social media and his personal blog.

Burris told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that he ultimately offered Rogers a deal in which he would be an independent contractor for the newspaper, producing two cartoons per week for the op-ed page along with his weekly comic strip, “Brewed on Grant.” But Rogers was unwilling to “collaborate,” according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

“We tried hard to find a middle way, an accommodation to keep him at the paper,” Burris told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

“We never said he should do no more Trump cartoons or do pro-Trump cartoons,” he added. “For an in-house staff cartoonist, editing is part of it. Rob’s view was, ‘Take it or leave it.'”

Rogers has won a number of awards for his work, including the Thomas Nast Award from the Overseas Press Club, the National Headliner Award, the Berryman Award from the National Press Foundation and Golden Quill awards from the Press Club of Western Pennsylvania. In 1999, Rogers was a finalist in editorial cartooning for the Pulitzer Prize, according to his personal website.
