Latest Edition of the Norwood News is Out!

Dear Fellow Readers,

It’s that time again! The latest edition of the Norwood News, covering the Bronx, is out with plenty of community news you can use. We begin with the front page and the story that impacts you the most.

We’re talking about the impending return of the Community Board 7’s district manager. If you live in the neighborhoods of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham, Kingsbridge Heights, and University Heights, then the return could affect you. Read the story about Andrew Sandler, who’s been on medical leave for four months.

Politics is on the mind of the Norwood News and we have a story on Assemblyman Mark Gjonaj and his endorsement from the Bronx Democratic County Committee for City Council. One challenger is not happy with it. Read up who, and what Gjonaj’s supporters say about his political stance.

The edition also brings you two great photo pages: Norwood News Snapshots and a beautiful photo spread from Adi Talwar on this year’s Bronx Week Parade held on Mosholu Parkway. Check out some of the awesome photos including one from Norwood native and now Bronx Walk of Fame inductee Selenis Leyva. Great stuff. The paper also takes a pause to acknowledge itself as it won various awards by the Ippies and the New York Press Club. Very proud moment for us.

As usual, we have the insightful Inquiring Photographer, the informative Neighborhood Notes, and Out & About to satisfy your cultural palette.

So check out the latest edition of the Norwood News and never hesitate to send comments my way, dcruz@norwoodnews.org. Always want to hear from readers!

Till next time!

Norwood News

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. As you navigate this website, please let us know if you discover any glitches or if you have any suggestions. We’d love to hear from you.
