Inside the News
At The News, we talk about the hot stories of the day just like our readers do. With this blog, the newsroom staff and our readers can share their perspectives and comments on the most compelling story of the day.
MoneySmart
How to save money is a question on every mind these days. And, while Western New Yorkers are huge coupon users, there are many other ways to stretch your paycheck. Reporter Samantha Maziarz Christmann, who writes the Discount Diva column in the Monday MoneySmart section, will share money-saving advice on this blog.
Niagara Views
Niagara County knows how to grab the spotlight, sometimes for good reason, sometimes for bad. It plays home to 10 waterfront communities, a fruit-growing region with few rivals and one of the world's great wonders. But economic misfortune, hazardous waste and bare-knuckle politics also color its landscape. There's a lot to talk about here, and The News Niagara staff wants you to be part of the conversation.
Politics Now
When the press conferences conclude and the microphones are turned off, politicians in Albany, Washington, D.C., and Buffalo City Hall start doing "the people's work." That's also when our political and government reporters -- Robert J. McCarthy, Tom Precious and Jerry Zremski -- work to uncover what decisions are made behind the closed doors of government. Join the discussion as these veteran reporters share their observations from inside the world of politics.
