A group of teenagers at The COVE (Community Organized with a Vision of Excellence) after-school program started their own businesses projects this year, and showcased the fruits of their labor to family and neighbors earlier this month. The kids, aged 14 to 17, created and marketed their own T-shirt, pastry and entertainment production companies. The groups offered treats for the audience to sample, sold T-shirts they designed themselves and screened videos to the crowd that they created and produced. The COVE is a youth program run by the Knox-Gates Neighborhood Association, on Gates Place in Norwood.

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.
