Regular Columnists
In addition to covering news and publishing editorials, the Bronx News publishes several columns by former and current local writers. Mary V. Lauro, a member of the Wakefield Taxpayers and Civic League in the Bronx, writes "Wakefield Area News." Robert Press, a member of the Committee of One-Hundred Democrats, covers borough politics for "100 Percent." Father Robert Gorman, a Catholic priest and the chairman of Community Board 12 in the Bronx, writes about community issues for "Community Board News." Rich Mancuso and Vinny Iovieno have regular columns that cover professional, college, and high school sports. Mancuso occasionally writes about professional wrestling as well. Previous columnists have included: Anthony Rivieccio, who wrote about Personal Finance in "The Problem Solver" and "Financial Focus" and community events in "North Bronx Thinktank." The late Tony Rizzo wrote about politics. A conservative Republican, Rizzo became a sharp critic of Guy Velella, the borough's only Republican elected official and Bronx GOP chairman. Rizzo wrote for the paper until his death in 1995. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the late Joseph Savino, a Republican City Councilman-at-large in the Bronx, had his own column, "Where I Stand," about politics.

Famous quotes containing the words regular and/or columnists:
“He hung out of the window a long while looking up and down the street. The world’s second metropolis. In the brick houses and the dingy lamplight and the voices of a group of boys kidding and quarreling on the steps of a house opposite, in the regular firm tread of a policeman, he felt a marching like soldiers, like a sidewheeler going up the Hudson under the Palisades, like an election parade, through long streets towards something tall white full of colonnades and stately. Metropolis.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“It so happened that, a few weeks later, “Old Ernie” [Ernest Hemingway] himself was using my room in New York as a hide-out from literary columnists and reporters during one of his rare stopover visits between Africa and Key West. On such all-too-rare occasions he lends an air of virility to my dainty apartment which I miss sorely after he has gone and all the furniture has been repaired.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
