The Norwood News was founded in October 1988, so we are now 16 years old. But we are also celebrating another anniversary this month– the 10th anniversary of the paper becoming a bi-weekly publication

.In 1994, when the paper hired its first full-time editor and increased its frequency, we were able to deepen our coverage. A few years later, we were, with the help of foundation grants, able to extend our coverage to North Fordham. And just last year, we took on University Heights, so we now cover every neighborhood in Community District 7. 

We are proud of these successes and that our coverage has been honored with several first-place awards from the Independent Press Association. Most of all, though, we are honored that our loyal and growing readership continues to rely on the Norwood News for our in-depth reporting on local issues. And we are grateful to our advertisers, without whom this newspaper would not be possible.

We have so many people to thank for our success over the last decade, so we hope you will join us at a members’ reception at our offices at the Keeper’s House on Oct. 27 to do just that. Members of the paper get in free. If you are not already a member (basically a subscriber with additional benefits), you can become one with a $40 admission fee. Even if you already pick up the newspaper for free, you can support and strengthen our work by becoming a member. We hope to see you on Oct. 27!
