		Voice Media lawyers have yet to respond to the challenge, which would seem to indicate that Village Voice Media knows their case to be bogus.
		The pile of papers with Voice in their title is deep and varied, and at least one New York area paper–the Voice, published by the Jewish Federation of Camden County–beat the Village Voice to the trademark punch by 17 years.
		Village Voice Media may be topped by veterans of the old-school alternative press, but it’s now a business machine at heart, and lives according to the logic of the beast–insufferable corporate lawyers, scare tactics, activities that lead to antitrust investigations, all of it.

	Polis - Misery Finds Company at the LA Weekly
		But other Voice employees have spoken of management’s creating a harsher working environment while supposedly seeking a “younger” paper — although longtime Voice top editor Don Forst — whose job performance has been defended by VVM CEO David Schneiderman — is in his mid 70s.
		Former VVM employees who spoke without attribution agreed that management’s new “clear cutting” policies may have resulted from years of sinking ad revenues, particularly at the Voice.
		One former VVM employee surmised that the circle of investors now overseeing Schneiderman and the VVM papers lacked the management skills and insights of Leonard Stern, the bird-seed capitalist who, in the 1990s, built the nationwide alternative chain that includes America’s two largest metropolitan weeklies.

		Editors Note: Upon first seeing that Jarrett Murphy, the Village Voice's new-ish "Press Clips" columnist, was examining the New York press' coverage of Nicole DuFresne's murder, I was excited, because I had been struck by the sensationalism and covert racism in the coverage.
		I am a media reporter, not just a critic, and my job is to give readers a critical look inside the process the media uses to report stories.
		Subtlety, especially in the often overheated area of media reporting and criticism, is certainly a virtue.

		While the Voice may pride itself on its editorial product (and editor Don Forst is welcome to stay "as long as he wants to," according to Schneiderman), media money men see the weekly giveaway paper as a reader-magnet, stuffed with classifieds, personals and ads for "massage" providers.

		A particular story doesn't come to mind, but over the decades, as the Voice and other pioneering papers broke story after story that the mainstream press wouldn't touch, it became clear there are other viable media out there, digging deep for good stories.
		Even worse, corporate control of the major media (and to a much smaller degree, even alternative media) has taken the life out of most of the journalism that exists today.
