Village Voice Critic Included on 'Most Influential' List
New York magazine gives a nod to Village Voice art critic Jerry Saltz on its list of "The Influentials," defined as "the people whose ideas, power, and sheer will are changing New York." Saltz, who was also a 2006 Pulitzer finalist, "is far more than a booster; he is unafraid to burst bubbles, define broad trends, or take the art world to task when it's called for," the magazine says.

NPR's 'On the Media' Reports on 'Turmoil' at The Village Voicenew
"When the shake-up of this venerable institution ends, who among the villagers will still have a voice? Who, that is, other than Michael Lacey, the new chief?" asks Bob Garfield, whose sources mostly agree that the venerable alt-weekly needed an overhaul. "Too predictable," says the New York Times' David Carr; "too intellectual," claims Los Angeles Magazine's RJ Smith; too much "attitudinizing," says the only man with a vote, who wants his new employees to "pick up the phone" and begin "breaking stories." Garfield apparently agrees with that downbeat assessment -- the Voice has picked up a "pallor of decrepitude," he says -- but after itemizing the competitive issues that alt-weeklies face, he suggests that, "Maybe this is no time (for the paper) to be fiddling with the editorial product and instead figuring out how to reach its core audience in the digital age."

"Journalists Should Check Their Ego at the Door," Lacey Saysnew
The New York Observer reports that Village Voice Music Editor Chuck Eddy was fired yesterday; he is the 17th employee to leave the paper since the merger with New Times. In a phone interview with the Observer, Village Voice Media Executive Editor Michael Lacey confirms that commentary will no longer appear on the Voice's pages. "I want our reporters to start reporting," Lacey says, adding that employees who aren't comfortable with the new dynamic should find employment elsewhere. "You want to sit in your room and ruminate? Not on my nickel," Lacey says. The Observer also notes that veteran Voice reporter James Ridgeway, who was fired on March 31, has retained an attorney to consider his legal options.
