About The Chautauqua Gazette

Lori Cornell with founder Stacey Hannon, February 2024Lori & Stacey, Feb 2024

The Chautauqua Gazette is a free, weekly community newspaper published every Monday, and delivered to over 250 newsstands throughout southern Chautauqua County. Lori Cornell purchased the paper from Stacey Hannon, founder and 14-year owner, in February 2024 upon Hannon's retirement.

Both Hannon and Cornell share a passion for our community and value the importance of featuring the many businesses, organizations and happenings that help make Chautauqua County the special place we know and love.

“The Gazette is more than a newspaper. It’s the story of our lives. It’s part of the fabric of our community.”

It's Stacey Hannon's heart and soul, a precious gift to us all. Cornell takes seriously the opportunity to carry on Hannon's legacy and hopes to steward this special ‘good news’ paper long into the future.

The Gazette team works hard to retain the newspaper's favorite features, present new and exciting stories, and continue to expand its reach and online presence. Cornell operates the Gazette under her business name, L. Cornell and Company, LLC.
