End of an Era: Village Voice Will No Longer Be in Print<\/h1>\n

by Jeremy Barr<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Village Voice’s Aug. 16-22, 2017 issue<\/em><\/p>\n

The alt-weekly changed ownership in 2015.<\/h3>\n

Peter Barbey, who purchased The Village Voice<\/em> in 2015, has decided to no longer produce a print edition of the alt-weekly. The publication, which was once considered an important voice and platform, has long been distributed for free around New York City.<\/p>\n

“For more than 60 years, The Village Voice brand has played an outsized role in American journalism, politics, and culture,” Barbey said Tuesday in a prepared statement. “It has been a beacon for progress and a literal voice for thousands of people whose identities, opinions, and ideas might otherwise have been unheard. I expect it to continue to be that and much, much more.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Village Voice<\/em>, like most historically print-focused publications, has struggled with the shift to less-remunerative digital advertising. The paper was once reliant largely on classified advertising.<\/p>\n

“That business has moved online \u2014 and so has the Voice\u2019s audience, which expects us to do what we do not just once a week, but every day, across a range of media, from words and pictures to podcasts, video, and even other forms of print publishing,” Barbey said.<\/p>\n
