For two hours every weekday and even more on Mondays, Gary Axelbank finds a gazillion ways to talk about what he loves best: all things Bronx.
His remarkable cable TV shows, BronxTalk AM and PrimeTime, which respectively celebrate their fifth and 10th anniversaries this month, are a kind of perpetual town hall where Bronx citizens can come to promote their cause, raise issues, take issue and come together. By presenting the views of so many different people, organizations and communities, the shows weave together the fabric of a borough of more than 60 neighborhoods and even more nationalities.
Axelbank and BronxTalk also provide essential context, analysis and even investigation to critical issues facing Bronxites. It also provides an entry point for citizens that too often find themselves shut out from participating in media.
More people should know about this resource. We encourage BronxNet officials to spread the word about BronxTalk so that more of the borough’s citizens find this treasure toward the end of their cable dial.

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.
