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 20-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 40 locations including the Clifton Branch Library and many 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 with designer/layout artist Josie Angel supporting publication. In 2024, Michael Moreland began to oversee content and design for the printed newsletter, while Tom Lohre and Jan administer an expanded Facebook page.
