Get Featured NowThe Buffalo News, founded in 1880 and owned by Lee Enterprises since 2020, is the daily newspaper for Buffalo and western New York, reaching Niagara Falls, the Southtowns and the Canadian border trade. It covers local and state news, business (healthcare and the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, manufacturing, banking with M&T Bank headquartered in the city, cross-border commerce and the waterfront’s regeneration), the Bills and Sabres, dining and the region’s weather and lake life. buffalonews.com has a Moz Domain Authority of 76.
Through our publishing partners we place a full sponsored feature on buffalonews.com. We write it in the newspaper’s register, you approve the copy, the publisher’s team applies house style, and it is published labelled as sponsored or partner content under the publisher’s rules, with a do-follow link. The publisher’s production time is about one week; we quote an outside date of about three weeks from copy approval.
It suits western New York and southern Ontario businesses, healthcare and life-sciences companies on the medical campus, manufacturers, and companies expanding into upstate New York. Editorial coverage is separate, earned through the business or community desk with local numbers and a named spokesperson, and never guaranteed.
Related Northeast placements: The Providence Journal (DA 78, three to four weeks), the Burlington Free Press (DA 75, three to four weeks) and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (editorial only).
The Buffalo News dates from 1873 and has been the dominant title in western New York for well over a century. Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway owned it for forty-three years before selling its entire newspaper group to Lee Enterprises in 2020. Four Pulitzers sit behind it, three of them for editorial cartooning. Print moved to six days in November 2025 with the Monday edition dropped, and the newsroom is far smaller than it was. Its business and development reporting runs under the Buffalo Next banner. The eight counties it covers share a border with Ontario, and that border sits underneath most of its commercial coverage. Digital subscriptions now outnumber print copies by a wide margin.
Buffalo sits on Eastern time. The five-hour gap from Britain is the kindest of any American market, so a message despatched around midday your time arrives while reporters are still shaping the day. Remember that Mondays lost their print edition in late 2025, meaning a Monday announcement lives online only until Tuesday’s paper.
Toronto is about ninety minutes up the Queen Elizabeth Way and the Peace Bridge carries a large volume of commercial traffic every day. British companies frequently choose this corner of New York precisely because one site can serve customers on both sides. If that is your reasoning, say it, because the desk understands cross-border logistics better than most American newsrooms.
The big employers are hospital systems, Roswell Park’s cancer centre, M&T Bank, the University at Buffalo and precision manufacturers such as Moog, whose components turn up in power turbines and Formula One cars. That last connection is a genuine British doorway. Position yourself alongside those clusters rather than describing yourself as a technology company and hoping.
The paper groups its economy, development and investment coverage under Buffalo Next, which follows who is building what, which sites are being filled and which incentives are being claimed. A story about a lease, a headcount, a state grant or a factory conversion belongs there. A consumer product launch does not, and misdirecting it costs you your one attempt.
Lake-effect snow off Lake Erie can shut roads and cancel everything for days at a time, most often between late November and February. Driving bans are ordinary here, not exceptional. Do not put a launch date, a visit or a photocall in that window without a fallback, and never treat a blizzard week as a good moment to chase a reporter.
Describing Buffalo as a comeback story or a post-industrial experiment reads as condescension to people who live there. The city has a new stadium at Orchard Park, a growing medical campus and long-established banking and engineering employers. Write about what you are adding, in specifics, and let the reader draw their own conclusions about the region’s direction.
Coverage is organised around the region rather than around industries, so the test is geographic before it is thematic. Read the list below as the set of desks where a British name could credibly appear.
The paper is smaller than it once was and its remaining reporters are protective of their time. Nearly every rejection we see traces back to a pitch that could have been sent to any American city unchanged.

Lee Enterprises, which bought Berkshire Hathaway’s newspaper group in 2020 after Berkshire had held the title for forty-three years. Ownership matters to you mainly because it explains the current shape of the operation: a leaner newsroom, a six-day print week with no Monday edition, and a heavy emphasis on digital subscriptions. Pitch to the digital rhythm rather than the printing schedule.
Most often for cross-border access to Ontario, for cheaper industrial space and power than the New York City corridor, for the region’s advanced manufacturing base, or for a research link with the University at Buffalo or Roswell Park. Say which of those applies to you. The reason you chose the region is frequently a better story than the thing you are announcing.
It is the banner under which The Buffalo News gathers its business, development and economy reporting for Buffalo Niagara. It follows real estate deals, construction, employment and public incentives. If your news involves a building, a payroll or public money, that is where it belongs. If it involves a product a consumer buys, it does not, and you should look elsewhere in the paper.
Considerably. Lake-effect snow off Lake Erie regularly closes roads for a day or more between late November and February, and driving bans are routine rather than dramatic. Any date-dependent activity in that window needs a contingency plan. It also means the local news agenda can vanish overnight, so avoid pressing a reporter during a storm.
Documents rather than descriptions. Companies House accounts show your real size, HM Revenue and Customs trade statistics support any export claim, and figures from a named British trade association beat an unattributed market study. Convert every sterling figure into dollars and state the rate. If a UK regulator authorises you, explain in one clause what that regulator does.
