Buffalo Courier-Express

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Buffalo Courier-Express was a morning newspaper in Buffalo, New York. It ceased publication on September 1982.

The Courier-Express was created in a 1926 merger of the Buffalo Courier and the Buffalo Express. William James Conners, owner of the Buffalo Courier, brought the two papers together. The combined newspapers claimed a heritage dating to 1828. One notable part-owner and editor of the Buffalo Express was Mark Twain

In August 1979, The Courier-Express was purchased by the Cowles Media Company, a publishing company based in Minneapolis, Minn. After a change in corporate leadership, Cowles Media decided to close the paper in September, 1982. The September 19 1982 issue was the last issue published.
