And we have newspaper people on the payroll, don't we, Tom? They might like a story like that.
LOL… Love that movie. But here is the deal:
1. The Niagara Falls Reporter is and always has been opinion journalism that was free and distributed to restaurants, bars, etc… you’d pick up a copy and read while waiting for your pizza.
2. As an opinion rag it has never been objective.
3. It has never had the respect of real journalists. Just asked Jim Heaney of The Investigative Post and formerly of the Buffalo News. Or take a look at what has been written about it at the prestigious Columbia Journalism Review. This will get you started:

4. The Niagara Falls Reporter is very much like Ricchiazzi’s The Buffalo Chronically. As a matter of fact Ricchiazzi commented on Peter Gerace’s Facebook post ripping Katrina Nigro and offered his support and saying to let him know of the Buffalo Chronicle could be of service to him.
Even the Toronto Star called Richiazzi’s “paper” out:

5. And you know who two of the biggest advertisers for The Buffalo Chronicle are, don’t you? Todaro’s LaNova and the local Reservations who are tied in via tobacco and other endeavors.
