Finger Lakes Times[1][2][3] is an upstate New York daily (except Sunday) newspaper with 19th century roots [4] under an earlier name, Geneva Times.[5][6][7] Their information is picked up by other newspapers,[8][9] including The New York Times.[10]

History

[edit]

The first edition of Geneva Times was published on May 28, 1895.[11] The newspaper's initial 19th-century name reflected a more local name, Geneva. In 1977[12] it was renamed for the region,[13] whose name did not exist when the paper was founded.[14][15][16]

In February 2024, the paper's Monday edition transitioned from print to digital only.[11]
