The Public (alternative newspaper)

The Public is an alternative newsweekly which publishes 35,000 copies each Wednesday[1] in Buffalo, New York, United States.[2] It focuses on Buffalo-area art, music, culture, and politics.[3] The Public was founded in 2014 when several of the writers and editors of fellow weekly paper, Artvoice left following concerns about that paper's finances and internal conflicts.[4] The former Artvoice contributors were joined by several new contributors.[5] The Public features locally created art on its covers and in weekly centerfolds. The paper is distributed for free throughout the Buffalo-Niagara region. In addition to the print version, all of The Public's content is available at their website, www.dailypublic.com. The website also includes web-exclusive content such as blogs and podcasts.[6]

Not to be confused with The Public (Chicago newspaper).

The Public has journalistic partnerships with Investigative Post, City & State, and Loop Magazine.
