Dear Readers, What you’re holding in your hands right now might just be a community paper to you, but for many communities across the country — and even in our own city — they don’t have a newspaper to call their own. And that’s not good. Community newspapers are the lifeblood of every neighborhood. It’s a place to celebrate the great elements of where we live, while at the same time provide a forum to expose those that can improve. Communities with a newspaper like The Riverdale Press experience much better communication with elected officials, solve more problems, and experience a higher quality of life. Every week, our entire team brings you everything we can from every corner of Riverdale, Kingsbridge, Spuyten Duyvil, Marble Hill and Fieldston. Whether it’s local politics, schools, culture, sports, business and even crime, The Riverdale Press has been there to deliver this news to you as it has for the past 70 years. Even more, our Opinion pages offer a forum for you to hear from your neighbors — or share your own views — alongside hardhitting editorials quite reminiscent of the Pulitzer Prize work of our recent past. We strive to give you the information you need to take an active role in your community, to give you a forum where your ideas matter in a way that both entertains and informs. And, of course, our advertisers offer everything from arugula to X-rays. If you’re already one of our thousands of subscribers, thank you. If not, please become one today. Call (718) 5436065, and press 5. Or visit us at RiverdalePress.com/subscribe. The Riverdale Press is your community paper. Never miss another issue again.
