Digital Edition of the Norwood News Is Out!

by David Cruz, Editor-in-Chief

With the northwest Bronx springing with plenty of good causes, there is so much to write about for the latest edition of the Norwood News. The big story is the election of a new district manager for Community Board 7, a post left vacant for the past five months. Read up who members voted on, or you can read the story online. Our other story focuses on the never-ending construction of the troubled Croton Water Filtration Plant. New stuff to report, courtesy of reporter Shayla Love.

Speaking of online news consumption, the Norwood News has a new feature we’ve debuted: Norwood News Online, a collection of stories you will only find on our website, www.norwoodnews.org. Worth a look. Last but not least, the Norwood News looks at what our neighbors in Westchester Square are up to. Lots of interesting things going on there.

So there you have it. Plenty of cool stuff to read about up here in the Norwood area and its surrounding communities. So spread the word on the Norwood News, and if you know anyone interested in advertising in our paper, have them call 718-324-4998.

Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students.
