My experiences:
The Spectrum – The only independent student newspaper at the University at Buffalo.
Generation Magazine - The only magazine at the University at Buffalo that matters.
YNN Buffalo – The only 24-hour news station that exclusively covers the WNY area.

Must-see Web sites:
Slate – The online magazine that easily rivals its dead tree counterparts.
The Daily Dish – Andrew Sullivan is a gay Roman Catholic and one of the pioneers of blogging. What more do I have to say?
RecipePuppy – Do you have a menagerie of ingredients in your cupboards? Punch them in to this site and see what it suggests.
Daily Kos – Left-wing news by the people, for the people.
Kiva – Put that $25 that’s burning a hole in your bank account to good use. You’ll probably get it back, anyway.

Journalism-related blogs:
PoynterOnline: Read news and tips about writing, reporting and more.
AngryJournalist: A place for journalists to vent. A much needed one.
Common Sense Journalism – A seasoned professional’s musings on journalism.
The Editorialiste – Citizen bloggers have become the watchdogs of journalism. But who’s watching them?
Journalism 3.0 – An interesting personal Web site/blog from another young journalist.

The best news & features:
The Buffalo News – The best newspaper in WNY.
The New York Times – The best newspaper in the rest of the country.
Vanity Fair – The only magazine that knows how to combine fashion and in depth reporting.
The New Yorker – One of the best weeklies in the U.S.
Rolling Stone – The to-go show for news and music reviews.
Time – Joe Klein is worth the subscription fee alone.
National Geographic – The prettiest pictures you’ll ever see in a magazine, guaranteed.
