TheRiverdale Review was a newspaper serving theRiverdale section of theBronx in New York City. It was published by the Metro North Media Group, which also published the weeklyBronx Press-Review. It is uncertain when these newspapers ceased publishing, but probably some time in 2017.
TheRiverdale Review was initially launched in 1993 by publisher Andrew Wolf as an alternative to thePulitzer Prize-winning[1][2]Riverdale Press, the other local paper. There are several differences the casual observer can note between the publications. A few of these include: while the Press costs $1.00, theReview is free; thePress tends toward taking a more liberal position on local and city politics than theReview; theReview is in tabloid format; theReview sometimes has a political cartoon. Both newspapers were widely read in the community and influence local debate.
Publisher Andrew Wolf also wrote a column focusing primarily on city education issues for theNew York Sun until that paper's demise in September, 2008, however he continues to occasionally write for theSun's website and is an occasional blogger for theHuffington Post. Wolf's columns for theSun as well as editorials for theRiverdale Review can be viewed at Andywolf.net[2].
