SEE PICTURES: Bronx Week Festivities

The 46th annual Bronx Week celebration featured numerous activities and ended in Norwood with a parade that capped an 11-day extravaganza which answered why the Bronx is a special place to many. Before the parade, Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. honored an accomplished boxer, musician, and planetary scientist for their contributions to their field and link to the borough.

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.
