Please join us in welcoming Anna Gustafson to the Ditmas Park Corner team! As of today, she is the new editor of the site.

Anna has been living in Ditmas Park for about a year now (and in NYC for the past seven). She has worked previously at the Forum News Group, the Queens Chronicle, and more, and has won awards for her writing from the New York Press Association, New England Press Association, and Wyoming Press Association — long story short, you’re in great hands.

Please feel free to reach out to Anna with story ideas, news tips, questions, and more at editor@ditmasparkcorner.com or 917-740-4124. And if you see her around the neighborhood, say hello!

Everything else stays the same — reach the Corner on Twitter and Facebook, subscribe to our daily newsletter, and please keep adding photos to the Ditmas Park Corner Flickr group and tagging them #ditmaspark on Instagram.

I will be moving into my position as editor at our new site, Fort Greene Focus — which covers Clinton Hill, too. If you’re interested in news from the north or have friends who are, please get in touch with me (or have them get in touch with me) at editor@fortgreenefocus.com, and check out our various social media accounts as well.

It’s been a pleasure getting to know you all, and I hope to still see you around the neighborhood. In the meantime, please give Anna a warm welcome!
