Cynthia Cotts: “I've been given a tremendous amount of editorial freedom”
In an interview with mediabistro.com, the Village Voice media reporter talks about her approach to the job and how she handles the legacy left by former “Press Clips” columnists Alex Cockburn and Jim Ledbetter. She also says her "mandate is to compete in the world of media reporters," not "to have a sort of predictable Village Voice ideology." Her biggest regret: “I will probably never be allowed to write for the (New York) Times.”
