(reg. req.):
Alt-weekly Village Voice is going through a lot of restructuring and turmoil, as its business has been usurped by the likes of Craigslist and others…
So it is now wants to focus on the online part, and hired a new managing editor for online five months ago. And that didn’t go too well either, as he was fired last week.
Anyway, “The restructuring situation is tied into our efforts going from a weekly product to, with the Web, daily journalism electronically, in which we’re putting stuff up on a daily basis, sometimes on an hourly basis,” VV editor in chief Donald Forst said. “The restructuring is putting new resources there, to the Web site, while at the same time maintaining the paper.”
