The Buffalo Chronicle is an independent digital newspaper covering Buffalo, Western New York and the institutions in Albany, Washington, Ottawa and Toronto whose decisions shape the region. Our motto is simple: Always be fair. When you can, be kind.
We aim to be curious, thoughtful and probing. We try to be fair and impartial with everyone we cover, and we are earnest about the problems that burden this region and the people working to solve them.
