We all have different opinions on who are the better or worse editors of these papers. (This isn't even relating to music editors, necessarily. This can be arts editors, food editors, film editors, political editors, CHIEF editors, etc.) Every paper has a combination of good and bad editors... some are overall better than others.
What this New Times buyout will do is essentially equalize the good and bad qualities of these papers. The shitty editors will have to shape up, and the good editors will be likely (and this depends on which delegate at the Denver/Phoenix Borg Central is assigned to whom) be told how to do things, when they don't need to be told how to do things.
All in all, this is sad, because while a lot of really bad sections might improve, a lot of great sections are likely going to be compromised, and I don't think anything will arise from this that will equal the greatness of the latter. These singular visions that were enjoyable sections are going to be less singular, and this is the sad part. But hey, cut-to-the-chase corporate visions aren't really interested in preserving uniquely great quality in certain spots.. they're interested in across-the-board profitability, even if it means the referendums are going to blemish the good spots, as well as improve the bad spots.

Yup. Though the smart editors will listen to what they are being told ... a lesson from wise-old deposed Uncle Chris.

One possible welcome effect: better movie reviews from more reviewers.
I see how it's welcome, but I don't see how it's possible.

I see your point. Definitely not intended to make it sound end-all be-all. My situation is my situation. I found it tough to work for them.

And just realized after all these years that this song has kind of the “I Want Candy” variant of the Bo Diddley Beat.

let's twist again
why do my hips hurt
Took a gander at the twitter account of the guy Brian Calle just hired as the new CEO of Village Voice. He's a Hamptons Trump bro obsessed with the Hunter Biden laptop conspiracy theory. Surprised he didn't go private before the announcement. pic.twitter.com/VNqjEryGKB— April Wolfe (@AWolfeful) July 1, 2021

For fuck's sake, someone please put the Voice out of its misery. It deserves a dignified death, not this.
― birdistheword, Friday, 2 July 2021 20:31 (two years ago) link
Same thought: just sad.
― clemenza, Friday, 2 July 2021 20:54 (two years ago) link
Think you'll find selling it to Calle eradicated any possibility of dignity.
