This just in: Adding to the media meltdown, my former alma mater, the Village Voice, just laid off three more in editorial. [Full disclosure, I was laid off myself for "matters of taste" in 2007]. Among those laid off is Nat Hentoff, who’s been at the paper since 1958, writing about jazz, and later, civil liberties in his weekly long-running column. Fashion writer Lynn Yaeger, who has worked with the paper over 15 30 years, starting in classifieds, before moving into editorial, was laid off, along with staff writer Chloe Hilliard, who was hired under the current editor, Tony Ortega in 2007. We know, we keep saying this, but we continue to be amazed that there is anyone left to lay off.

Hentoff? Jesus shit.

With Frank Kogan, more is more, and truncating me is never a good idea.

so this is basically a porn site now?

i pretty much fritter away 10 minutes of every day clicking on a NSFW photo gallery on the Voice site, i'm not gonna lie

i have no idea where these parties happen or who gets invited to them

not a huge fan of the new page layout

i havent been by the site in a while but it looks like theyve got like 2-3 good writers left and a whole lot of fifty-photo slideshows of parties where chicks flash the camera?

so i guess its kind of like vice magazine now?

hey, village voice, you're right.. i am stupid !

The Village Voice thinks you like tits, is probably right

So, I guess this is official now. (Fwiw, I've secretly known about Rob leaving for a couple weeks, but didn't know Maura was coming in until three minutes ago.)

you got scooped on another voice thread 47 minutes ago chuck!

okay not scooped.

anyhoo, congrats maura!

if congrats are in order. they are, right? probably!

ok this article being published on a VV site, given what they've done to freelancers is pretty. fucking. rich.

(or whatever they call the VV/new times whatever clusterfuck now)

Yep. As for one little aspect of the article, the below is kinda the same issue in my town. Punk and indie rock shows get documented on local media, but go-go, r'n'b, jazz, and myriad international styles exist only in instagram land among friends.

There are so many shows going on in this town where nobody is shooting.

city pages got sold in may

Oh yeah well I hope they've stopped stealing local band photos of ppl flickr accounts and running then w/o paying or giving credit

Hilary Hughes who was their 2015 music editor is no longer listed on the masthead. Now they just list a "culture editor"

i remember her announcing on twitter that she was leaving VV maybe...a month ago? i didn't see anything about looking for or announcing a new music ed, wouldn't be surprised if that position was being eliminated.

ah, fuck
i liked Hilary.

x-post - yep now I see it. She tweeted Feb. 17th that it was her last day at the Voice.
