The Democrat and Chronicle is the most widely circulated daily newspaper in the greater Rochester, New York area. Located at 55 Exchange Boulevard in downtown Rochester, the Democrat and Chronicle operates under the ownership of Gannett. The paper's production facility is located in the town of Greece.

Founded in 1833 as The Balance, the paper eventually became known as the Daily Democrat. [2] The Daily Democrat merged with another local paper in 1870, the Chronicle, to become known as the Democrat and Chronicle. The paper was purchased by Gannett in 1928.[3] This is also when the D&C's current editorial facility was built, on Exchange Boulevard in Rochester.

According to the official site, the Democrat and Chronicle is delivered to over 170,000 homes, 1300 retail stores and over 1000 news racks.
