Welcome to Your Bx News

This site/blog is an attempt to fill a void in local journalism. It seems like the print newspapers covering the Bronx have settled for convention and "going along to get along" at the express of true journalism and objective reporting. When a local newspaper that shall remain nameless print entire press releases from elected officials, something is wrong. When News 12 the Bronx fails to cover anything other than breaking news, something is wrong.

In the next few days this site will cover local elections, news, and sports. But in addition, it will also have investigative pieces on items that got reported once or twice, then were pushed to the backburner when the next news item appeared. Stories like the parkland that was supposed to be built on the old Yankee Stadium property, pending construction projects and zoning issues, politcal corruption and more.

The site will also have unconventional items such as a meta-ranking feature for politcal mailers and literature, commentary on local news and politics, and profiles of newsmakers.
