About
For over two decades, the Clifton Chronicle has been Clifton Town Meeting’s quarterly publication, now delivered to over 10,000 readers electronically and in print. Our 24-page publication features the organization’s news, stories from the wider community, and advertisements from local businesses. Published in digital and print formats, our print issues are distributed in over 50 locations including the Clifton Branch Library and many schools, faith communities and local businesses. The newsletter’s production is underwritten by local advertising, grants, and CTM membership dues. The full archive can be viewed in the listings on this page by scrolling to the end. The Clifton Chronicle is a public service of Clifton Town Meeting, your neighborhood’s community council.

History of the Clifton Chronicle
In 2001, Florine Postell spearheaded a CTM newsletter, rich in content and distributed to the entire community. Joined by Barbra Druffel and E.P. Harris for production support, the CTM Board of Trustees agreed to underwrite the effort. Fred Thomas and Sandy Cohan became editors in 2007 with Tom Lohre serving as production manager. Tom became editor and production manager the following year. In 2012, Vicki Black was hired to edit and publish the Chronicle. The newsletter expanded in 2021 with Jan Brown Checco serving as managing editor and advertising sales manager with Josie Angel supporting the publication as designer/layout artist. In 2024, Michael Moreland served as managing editor for a year while bringing a design refresh to our newsletter. The CTM committee maintains the publication and relies on the participation of volunteers for production and distribution, and on our neighbors for interesting and creative content.
The Clifton Chronicle committee includes Jan Checco (chair, managing editor, ads sales), Linda Fatherree (copy editing, proofreading, distribution), Josie Angel (design, layout), and Gerald Checco (bookkeeping, production oversight). Clifton Chronicle Daily Facebook page is administered by Tom Lohre and Jan Checco with moderation support by Linda Fatherree, Mindi Rich and Leah Kottyan.
