Well known in the newspaper industry for his candour and honesty, Murray B Light presents an engrossing history of the Buffalo News from its start-up in 1873 to the present. Focusing on the newsroom operations of this great independent newspaper, Light puts special emphasis on the editorial staff, the editors who have guided it through the years, and the publishers who have presided over the enterprise. From Butler to Buffet is filled with fascinating anecdotes about many of the New’s best-known staffers, including Bob Curran, Bruce Shanks, Tom Toles, Larry Felser, and Ray Hill. From Butler to Buffet will delight those who are interested in the western New York community, as well as appeal to readers who are interested in trends in newspapers and how changes in technology and society have affected their content and appearance.
