What Is This?
The Monroe Gazette takes its name from a paper that was published in Monroe, New York, from 1908 to 1982.
This new version comes in the form of a (usually) daily email newsletter that provides news and opinion for: Monroe, Woodbury, Chester, Palm Tree (aka Kiryas Joel) and Blooming Grove.
Occasionally, the newsletter also covers events happening on the state level that impact these towns.
The new Monroe Gazette is written and edited by B.J. Mendelson, a journalist and author of such books as Social Media Is Bullshit from St. Martin’s Press.
B.J. can be reached at BJMendelson@Duck.com
