NY Times - The Village Voice, the left-leaning independent weekly New York City newspaper, announced on Tuesday that it will end print publication. The exact date of the last print edition has not yet been finalized, according to a spokeswoman. The paper’s owner, Peter D. Barbey, said in a statement that the move was intended to revitalize the 62-year-old Voice by concentrating on other forms, and to reach its audience more than once a week.
The Village Voice started in 1955, and was- along with a handful of other alternative media such as the Texas Observer - part of the inspiration for the Idler, predecessor of the Progressive Review.
