History
[edit]
The Gazette was founded in 1854 as the Niagara Falls Gazette.[2]
The Gazette was owned by Gannett from 1954 to 1997. Gannett was formed in 1923 by Frank Gannett, a noted conservative,[3] in Rochester, New York as an outgrowth of a newspaper business he had begun in Elmira, New York in 1906.[4]
In a 1996 deal, that closed in 1997, Gannett acquired Buffalo's WGRZ.[5] Due to U.S. Federal Communications Commission regulations, Gannett was required to sell the paper.[5] It was bought by Community Newspaper Holdings Inc., along with other area newspapers such as the Lockport Union-Sun & Journal and the former Tonawanda News.[6]
Daily price
