Remember the Bronx News Network?

The network, created by the staff of the Norwood News and its nonprofit publisher, Mosholu Preservation Corporation, back in 2006, included two bilingual monthly newspapers, the Tremont Tribune and Mt. Hope Monitor, as well as a humming blog and website and a successful youth journalism program.

In 2011, the network ran into funding problems and was suspended. The papers took an indefinite hiatus and the website stopped being updated. Meanwhile, the Norwood News took over control of the youth program (which just concluded another successful semester at Hostos Community College last week) and the other assets of the network were transitioned to City Limits, New York’s go-to place for hard-edged civic and policy journalism.

Tonight, the network is being re-birthed as the “Bronx Bureau” of City Limits during a launch event at the Bronx Museum of the Arts, 1040 Grand Concourse (at E. 165th St.), from 6 to 9 p.m. The event will include a panel discussion on poverty, part of a City Limits series on the topic, and a networking reception.

The Bronx Bureau will have a familiar air for readers of the Norwood News. It will be led by Jarrett Murphy, a Norwood resident and City Limits’ editor-in-chief, and Jordan Moss, who ran the Norwood News for 17 before moving on last year and is now the managing editor at City Limits.

We, for one, are excited to see what the new Bronx Bureau has in store for the Boogie Down, a borough badly in need of more media coverage.

Editor’s note: This launch event is free and open to the public; Attendees can register at http://bronxbureaulaunch.splashthat.com/.
