The Wedge is the official newspaper of the South Wedge area. It began publication as an one page flyer in 1978. It grew into the South Wedge Newsletter 1979-1981. Next, in 1982, it morphed again into The S.O.S. News and later that year became The Wedge Newspaper.
The not for profit newspaper is published by the South Wedge Planning Committee (SWPC), a grassroots organization serving the South Wedge Urban Village. The 12-page paper is printed bimonthly (February/March, April/May, June/July, August/Sept, October/Nov., and December/January)... and it's pretty cool for a neighborhood paper.
Most often the paper covers news from SWPC (The South Wedge Planning Commission) i.e. grants received, etc.; stories on new businesses in the Wedge, and offers three columns (The Heart of the City, Community Builders and Community Shout Out). It also runs a Tool Tips column. A photo center spread highlights special events like Wedgestock (not your ordinary annual meeting), the unveiling of the Nathaniel Rochester statue on South Avenue or doings at the local South Wedge Farmers Market.
Circulation
The paper prints 7500 copies, which are mailed to certain streets in the Wedge and distributed to all the areas businesses.
