Voice Editor Skips Out
The editor of the Village Voice—one of five VVM papers, including Seattle Weekly, recently purchased by New Times—has resigned. Here’s his email:
From: Forst, Don Sent: Monday, December 05, 2005 4:41 PM To: Everyone (VV) Subject: ChangeI have submitted my resignation today as editor-in-chief to Judy Miszner, effective December 31, 2005. A number of prospects have presented themselves and I think this is an opportune time to explore them. These nine years have been exciting for me because of what this paper does and what it represents to the city; and that’s because of all of you. I am proud of what we have accomplished together. I thank you for sharing your talent with me and wish you and the Voice good times and great fortune.
Skips or pushed? I hope for the future of the Voice he was pushed. When l lived in NY the paper was dull and unambitious.
