New York City’s famous alternative weekly, The Village Voice, is
joining the ranks of newspapers NOT publishing print versions.
The Village Voice was founded in 1955 by Dan Wolf, Ed Fancher and
author Norman Mailer. It has three Pulitzer Prizes -- Teresa Carpenter in 1981, cartoonist Jules Feiffer
in 1986 and Mark Schoofs in
2000.
In 1982 the Voice began domestic partner
benefits for gay couples on its staff.
The slide began in 2005, when New Times Media bought the Voice. At least a dozen key
leaders were fired or quit by 2012, when Village Voice Media executives Scott Tobias, Christine Brennan and Jeff
Mars bought Village Voice Media's papers and associated web properties from its
founders and formed Voice Media Group.
