The Buffalo News is the city's major daily newspaper, published "all day" Monday through Friday and on weekends in the morning. The Buffalo Criterion, an African American community newspaper, along with several papers featuring business, lifestyle, community, religious, or ethnically-oriented topics, are published weekly. The State University of New York at Buffalo publishes a student-run paper, The Reporter, in print on a biweekly basis and online weekly. The Alt Press operates as an independent source for local, national, and international news, with a bit of a left bent; the paper is published in paper and online formats.
A number of magazines and special interest journals are published in Buffalo, including Gun Week, The Buffalo Law Journal, and Free Inquiry, a philosophical journal.
Buffalo is home to television broadcasting stations affiliated with all the major networks as well as PBS, UPN, FOX, and the WB. A local independent broadcaster operates out of Buffalo, and the city has a cable company, satellite service providers, and pay-per-view companies. The city is home to a number of local radio stations, including four AM stations that focus on sports and talk radio and eight FM broadcasters with formats including jazz, urban and adult contemporary, National Public Radio, R & B, alternative, and classic rock. Radio stations reflecting a variety of cultures and religions also broadcast in or near the area. Buffalo receives radio transmissions from Canadian radio and television stations as well; the city's proximity to Toronto has encouraged greater access to international programming such as the BBC.
