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.

I would be very dear to me if you could send me the email address of Jewish War Veterans’ Neumann-Goldman Post # 69. My father, Meyer M. Cohen, was a proud member that post. (A veteran of the first World War) I now belong to JWV Post 180 in Israel, in his honor. I would like to contact the post and send them a summary of a trip to the Ghetto Fighters Museum and to the Yemin Orde High School (named for Charles Orde Wingate) our Post took this past week. Thank you, Roberta I. Cohen
