Latest Edition of the Norwood News is Out!

Dear Fellow Readers!

The Norwood News is out with its latest edition covering the Bronx. In our last edition of the year, we bring you the latest!

The front page story looks at Community Board 7 demanding concessions on a major project coming to Bedford Park. Ischia Bravo, CB7’s District Manager, is offering an interesting take on the building boom happening in the neighborhood. She has a fix she hopes the Bronx Council Delegation would consider.

David Greene reports on the tragic death of a 17-year-old who died after allegedly being pushed onto oncoming traffic. Police now say the suspects are tied to the Trinitarios gang.

The story segues into the final entry to our collaborative series with WFUV and BronxNet Television dubbed Bronx Connections: The Gang Impact. Reporter Julia Rose Herman speaks to a bodega owner who became a savior to a would-be victim of gang violence.

The Norwood News also brings you the regular staples–Inquiring Photographer, Neighborhood Notes, Health Check, and Out & About. We hope these features make you the smartest person in the Bronx!

So check out the latest edition of the Norwood News. Comments are always welcome. Send them to dcruz@norwoodnews.org. We’re always eager to read them, and sometimes publish them! And don’t forget to vote!

Keep reading!

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.
