Bklyner

BKLYNER is a Brooklyn-wide news site, with its beginnings in Southern Brooklyn. Our roots are in community reporting, and we care about the communities we cover. We strive to cover the diversity of the Brooklyn neighborhoods and the news, issues, events, and businesses that matter to their residents. Where we excel is building community - online and off - and that comes by focusing on the needs of all residents. If you have an issue you'd like us to cover, or just want to share an amusing anecdote, email [email protected] or call (347) 533 4474. BKLYNER started as a network of neighborhood news sites, some established as far back as 2008, and grew to include the following: Bensonhurst Bean (2011), Ditmas Park Corner (2012), Fort Greene Focus (2009), KensingtonBK (2012), Sheepshead Bites (2008), South Slope News (2013), and Sunset Park Voice(2016). In January 2017 they were all consolidated in one site, BKLYNER.com Fort Greene Focus began its life in 2009 as The Local, published by the New York Times, and then the CUNY Journalism School ran the site as "The Nabe" in 2013 and 2014. We are also supported by our community partners.
