What Were The Top News Stories of 2011? You Decide

Next week, the Norwood News unveils it’s annual Year in Review issue, which will include our picks for the top news stories of 2011. We will be basing our selections on three factors: relevance to our readership in the northwest Bronx, impact on the community and interest generated. We plan on lumping some of our stories into larger “Year in [Insert Subject: Crime, Politics, Parks, etc.]” features, which will allow us to touch on multiple stories for each subject.

But we also want to hear from you, our readers. What, in your mind, were the biggest, most interesting, most impactful stories of this year? It could be something we’ve written about extensively or a story we may have neglected entirely — it’s up to you.  Include as much or as little detail as you want in the comments section below and we’ll run a selection of Reader’s Picks stories in next week’s print edition. Anything we can’t fit into the paper, we’ll run online here on Breaking Bronx.

If you don’t feel comfortable leaving a comment here, you can write us at norwoodnews@norwoodnews.org, leave a comment on our Facebook page or send us a direct message on Twitter (@norwoodnews). Feel free to include your name or ask to remain anonymous.

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. You can send e-mails to norwoodnews@norwoodnews.org or call us anytime (718) 324-4998.
