Nonprofit radio and TV stations, like NPR and PBS, can commandeer the airwaves to prevail upon its listeners and viewers to make contributions to ensure continued broadcasting. Membership drives pre-empt portions of the news and other quality programming for a week at a time or more.

Well, we’re a nonprofit, too, and while we don’t have airwaves, we do have newsprint (and Web pages). And, as you can see, we’re using some of it to invite you to think about the value of the newspaper you hold in your hands as well as our other efforts to bring hyper-local news to your fellow Bronxites in other neighborhoods as well.

With your help, we can create an innovative Network of nonprofit Bronx media that will strengthen existing papers like the Norwood News and Mount Hope Monitor, and eventually leave no neighborhood uncovered. We’re calling it the Campaign for Bronx News Network. We need your help to win this campaign, so please take a look at our letter to readers on p. 3 and send us a contribution today.

Think of what your community would be without the Norwood News.  Many Bronx neighborhoods are in that position.

No news.

Here’s what it looks like:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah, we don’t like it either.

So help us build a groundbreaking news network from the ground up by sending a contribution for whatever you can afford to: Campaign for a Bronx News Network, c/o Norwood News, 3400 Reservoir Oval East, Bronx, NY 10467.
