The Village Voice is a long time published newspaper “(Wikipedia - The Village Voice) …in New York City featuring investigative articles, analysis of current affairs and culture, arts reviews and events listings for New York City. It is also distributed throughout the United States on a pay basis…
…The Voice was launched by Ed Fancher, Dan Wolf, and Norman Mailer on October 26, 1955, from a two-bedroom apartment in Greenwich Village, its initial coverage area, expanding to other parts of the city by the 1960s. The offices in the 1960s were located at Sheridan Square; they are now at Cooper Square in the East Village.” …read the rest…
I think the Village Voice has long been considered by many as a publication with a somewhat “counter-culture” slant, especially in its earlier days; as the “counter-culture” gradually becomes more “main-stream” the readership and interest by the general public would seem to have expanded. I peronally always thought of the Voice as a NYC-local sort of Rolling Stone, especially when Rolling Stone was based in San Francisco, CA (RS has been based in New York, NY for some time…)
The Village Voice can always be counted on for listings and stories of interesting and entertaining arts and cultural happenings around New York City and does investigative reporting of current events of interest to people in the area.
