Latest Digital Edition of the Norwood News Is Out!

Norwood News Vol. 28 Issue No. 13

By DAVID CRUZ

The award-winning Norwood News is proud to present its latest edition of its bi-weekly newspaper that’s available in 300 locations throughout the northwest Bronx. Or you can read up on community news you can use from your mobile device and soak in plenty of eye-catching news.

Before we delve into the top story, we want to divert your attention to page six in the newspaper: an award for Best Small Circulation Publication by the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism’s annual Ippies awards. Find out what the judges have to say about this newspaper filled with original reporting. It was a special moment for the 26-year publication.

Now some news: the Norwood News looks into a proposal by the de Blasio Administration to expand more affordable housing by putting the kibosh on a parking requirement. The proposal is not sitting well with Norwood and Bedford Park residents, who know too well how bad the search for parking can be in and around the neighborhood.

This edition is somewhat of an ad hoc ode to the work generated by the Mosholu Preservation Corporation, which publishes the Norwood News. In it you’ll find a litany of accomplishments by MPC over the last year, and its constant partnerships with local elected officials. You’ll also find a write-up on its sanitation initiative with support from Councilman Andrew Cohen.

We also have your regular staples: Inquiring Photographer, Out & About, Be Healthy and The Bronx Beltway (it took a one-edition respite). If you’re looking to get some fresh air, stop by one of the number of 300 offices, restaurants, and clinics to grab a copy of the Norwood News and read up!

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.
