The Spectrum is a student newspaper published in Buffalo, New York. It is published once a week at the University at Buffalo.

The Spectrum began publishing in 1950 and has since become the largest student-run newspaper in the SUNY state school system. The paper is located at 132 Student Union at the University at Buffalo. It is printed at an off-site press but distributed to multiple areas on the university's North and South campuses. New editions are distributed every Monday and Thursday during the fall and spring school semesters. Each issue prints 4,000 copies that are read by approximately 21,000 people.[1] The paper employs over 50 UB students, as well as members of the Western New York community.

The Spectrum is financially independent and supports itself with print and online advertising. Much like a major newspaper, its sections are divided into life and arts, sports, local and national news, photo journalism, and the editorial page.

Because The Spectrum is a student-run newspaper, any undergraduate is eligible to register for the newspaper and its corresponding English courses, regardless of intended major.

Students who choose to write for the paper are trained in Associated Press-style writing, editing and newspaper layout. Additionally, all writers and editors are trained in journalism ethics.

Faculty

The Spectrum is advised by Matt Parrino from the Syracuse Post Standard, who is an adjunct instructor though the English department. Jody Biehl, the former director of the school's Journalism Certificate Program, was the paper's advisor from 2009-2021.
