The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.

Personalized experience helps readers find the local stories that matter most to them
BUFFALO, N.Y., Nov. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Buffalo News launched a redesigned website that lets readers shape the experience around their own communities, interests and routines. Built with reader feedback, the new site offers simpler navigation, stronger visual storytelling and more coverage of the topics Buffalo cares about.
For decades, news websites have followed the structure of the newsroom: sections, beats and a single homepage for everyone. The new BuffaloNews.com moves away from that one-size-fits-all model toward a personalized experience organized around each reader’s neighborhood, teams, schools, businesses and interests.
“The Buffalo News is still built on our reporters, our trusted newsroom and our community,” said Sean Jacobsen, president and publisher of The Buffalo News. “This redesign lets readers make the site their own, so the stories that matter most to them in their community, their teams, their schools and their work are always easy to find.”
The site becomes more relevant the more readers use it. New features include:
- Improved discovery: Redesigned homepage and section pages surface more stories and make it easier to explore topics.
- Cleaner article pages: A streamlined layout with fewer distractions keeps the story at the center.
- Customization: Readers can adjust how they use the site, including putting the e-edition front and center.
- My Stories: A mobile-first personal feed tailored to each reader’s interests.
- Journalist profiles: More prominent highlights help readers get to know the people behind the local reporting.
