Owners of new Inquirer
Media Group a mix of young and old
After
operating The Inquirer Newspaper as a virtual one
man show for over four years, Joe Parisi, co-publisher,
along with his wife Luisa, are going in a totally new
direction with their paper. The Parisi's have elected to
recruit a team of junior and senior partners, each performing a unique
function within the business, and they will be known as
The Inquirer Media Group. The name of the newspaper will
remain the same.
Thanks to Art Crawford, several of the new junior
partners represent Mount Vernon's younger generation,
all highly educated and former members of the Genesis
Group at Mount Vernon High School. Crawford, a former
administrator at Mount Vernon High School ran the
popular Genesis program at the high school and is now a
senior partner with the
The Inquirer Media Group, along with Bob Nurse.
The Inquirer Media Group plans to focus heavily on
Mount Vernon's youth, and hopes to implement a scholarship
program and journalist internship program at their earliest
opportunity.
Circulation of the Inquirer newspaper will
include areas of the north Bronx, all of Mount Vernon, and
parts of New Rochelle and Bronxville.
Joe Parisi will be taping a television show twice
monthly, and the tape will air on Mount Vernon cable
television (channel 6). At times the tapes will be shown on
cable television in Bronxville as well as Pelham. In
addition, negotiations are ongoing to put together a weekly
radio show on WXOX 1460 AM.
