U.S. markets recover from steep losses
NEW YORK, Sept. 1 (UPI) -- New York's The Village Voice has laid off eight people including senior editor Robert Christgau, saying it needs to put more emphasis on writers.
Christgau also had been the publication's longtime pop music critic, The New York Times reported.
The weekly newspaper said the layoffs were an effort "to reconfigure the editorial department to place an emphasis on writers as opposed to editors."
"Painful though they may be in the short term, these moves are consistent with long-range efforts to position The Voice as an integral journalistic force in New York City," the Voice said in a statement.
The Times report said The Village Voice has been in turmoil since October when New Times Media announced its merger with Village Voice Media and assumed the Voice name. Prior to the latest layoffs, about 20 staffers had either been let go or left voluntarily, said the report. The Voice also has had three managing editors in the past year.
