Love Canal 40 Years Later
Stories from the WBFO newsroom on the 40th anniversary of Love Canal being named a federal health emergency.
Savvy Over 60: WNY Women of Influence
This March, WBFO is celebrating Women's History Month with a series of profiles we are calling "Savvy Over 60."Western New York has a diverse talent pool of women who have been uniquely influential over decades. The sexism of the 1970s and '80s may have defined their early career, but not their self or destiny. Along the way, they have helped elevate other women and the region.WBFO's Marian Hetherly talked with 10 of these savvy women, now age 60 and over, to find out what inspires them to inspire others. Look for their profiles Wednesday mornings, on-air and online.
Conversations on Aging
All this week, WBFO is airing a series of conversations on issues related to aging, as part of WBFO's Older Adults News Desk.Tune in for "Conversations on Aging" during Morning Edition with Jay Moran.
WNY Conversations About Race
WBFO presents a five-part series on race relations -- bringing people together to talk about equity, white privilege, systemic racism and diversityInspired by the intimate style of NPR’s Story Corps, the discussions feature a Buffalo-area person of color in dialogue with someone who is white.Facilitated by WBFO reporter Thomas O’Neil White, the conversations feature people with different backgrounds but similar occupations or fields of interests. In addition to the short feature heard on-air and featured in each of the stories below , extended versions of the conversations are also available here.The Racial Equity Project is funded by the Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo.If you'd like to participate in future conversations, email news@wbfo.org
The Toll: WNY Stories of Loss & Survival in a Pandemic
The coronavirus pandemic has infected more than 11,300 people across Western New York. It has also claimed the lives of at least 762 people in our region. But those numbers alone do not adequately tell the story of struggle and loss in Western New York.Each Thursday in August and September, WBFO will put faces—and voices—on the COVID-19 crisis, telling personal stories of some of the individuals whom we have lost and others who survived the disease.These intimate interviews illustrate the widespread grief and suffering the coronavirus pandemic has brought to Western New York, as well as the resilience sprouting in its wake. The stories will also serve as a tribute to all those whose lives have been taken or altered deeply by the virus.A small reporting team led by WBFO’s Kyle Mackie has been interviewing COVID-19 survivors and individuals who have lost family members or loved ones. If you have a COVID-19 story to share, please email Mackie at kmackie@wbfo.org
Caregivers on the Front Lines
A new media initiative aims to shed light on caregivers for older adults and investigate potential solutions to their challenges. WBFO and nine other media outlets in western New York are tackling the issue as part of a journalism collaborative supported by the Solutions Journalism Network.
Extremism in WNY
The racist shooting at Tops has renewed the spotlight on right-wing extremism across the country. So what does right-wing extremism look like here in Western New York? And what does the local far-right have to say about their ideology? In a four-part series, WBFO’s Tom Dinki will take a look at the local far right, speaking with both its critics and its leaders.
Buffalo's Women of Hip Hop
2023 marks the 50th anniversary of hip hop, a culture born in the streets of the South Bronx with DJing, emceeing, breakdancing and graffiti at its cornerstones. But it is still a male-dominated space. Even though women who rap or DJ may not be on the radio as much as their male counterparts, plenty of talented women are creating hip hop culture, and right here in Buffalo.
ADA Compliance in the City of Buffalo
In December 2022, WBFO published an investigation into the City of Buffalo's violations of Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act. This series includes the original and follow-up reporting from that story.
