BUFFALO COURIER-EXPRESS

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.
