Please join us in welcoming Nora Whelan to the Ditmas Park Corner team. You may have noticed her byline on a few stories recently, and you’ll see it more often now — as of today, she is the new editor of the site.

Nora has been living in Ditmas Park for three years. She has a background in creative writing and SEO writing, and you may recognize her as someone who made a beautiful cup of coffee for you at Cafe Madeline in the past. Please reach out to her with story ideas, news tips, questions, anything, 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 am continuing in my position here (and for all our sites) as managing editor, so you’ll still see me around the neighborhood and in the comments section, of course. You can continue to reach me at mary@cornernewsmedia.com.
