I want to know whether the VV commissioned a piece from NS (his choice of topic), or this particular type of story.
Thanks.

i don't think they commission pieces from him, as he's on staff. that said, the blogger who is quoted heavily in the piece is claiming that she pitched them this very piece back in january.

NEW YORK The Village Voice suspended one of its editorsafter he admitted fabricating material for this week's cover story,a look at ``The Secret Society of Pickup Artists.'' The weekly alternative newspaper published an editor's note onits Web site Wednesday night announcing the suspension of seniorassociate editor Nick Sylvester. In an article about the effect that Neil Strauss's book, ``TheGame,'' has had on the singles scene, Sylvester closed with adescription of a night in which he and three television writersfrom Los Angeles tested strategies for picking up women at aManhattan bar. ``That scene,'' the Voice wrote, ``never happened.'' It attached a note from Sylvester, in which he said the accountwas ``a composite of specific anecdotes'' shared by two of thealleged participants. One of the people supposedly present, thecomedy writer Steve Lookner, wasn't involved at all, Sylvesteracknowledged. ``I deeply regret this misinformation, and I apologize toLookner for his distress, which I certainly never intended,''Sylvester wrote. Voice Managing Editor Doug Simmons said the paper was stillreviewing the accuracy of the rest of the story and planned topublish a second statement in its next edition. Simmons declined to comment further on the matter. He saidSylvester, who also writes for the online music magazine Pitchfork,joined the Voice staff in 2005. Attempts to reach Sylvester were not immediately successful. Hedid not return an e-mail message sent to him at Pitchfork Media. Sylvester predominantly wrote music reviews for the Voice. Hisfew full-length feature articles included several interviews withcharacters who told somewhat fantastical stories. In an August story about cheating on college campuses, Sylvesterdescribed interviewing a student who spent $500,000 to have amultiplication table tattooed over his entire body; a HarvardMedical School graduate who cheated with Morse code; a BostonCollege junior named Simeon Criz who cheated using a speciallydesigned deck of playing cards; and a Manhattan doctor named NoamFeldstein who delivers ``a hundred newborn babies each day.'' Boston College said it had no record of a student named SimeonCriz. The board that licenses doctors in New York said it had norecord of a physician named Noam Feldstein. Founded in 1955, the Voice covers arts, entertainment and newswith an irreverent bent that often stretches the conventions thatgovern most big-city newspapers. Its staffers have won threePulitzer prizes.
