Village Voice Critic Included on 'Most Influential' List
New York magazine gives a nod to Village Voice art critic Jerry Saltz on its list of "The Influentials," defined as "the people whose ideas, power, and sheer will are changing New York." Saltz, who was also a 2006 Pulitzer finalist, "is far more than a booster; he is unafraid to burst bubbles, define broad trends, or take the art world to task when it's called for," the magazine says.

NPR's 'On the Media' Reports on 'Turmoil' at The Village Voicenew
"When the shake-up of this venerable institution ends, who among the villagers will still have a voice? Who, that is, other than Michael Lacey, the new chief?" asks Bob Garfield, whose sources mostly agree that the venerable alt-weekly needed an overhaul. "Too predictable," says the New York Times' David Carr; "too intellectual," claims Los Angeles Magazine's RJ Smith; too much "attitudinizing," says the only man with a vote, who wants his new employees to "pick up the phone" and begin "breaking stories." Garfield apparently agrees with that downbeat assessment -- the Voice has picked up a "pallor of decrepitude," he says -- but after itemizing the competitive issues that alt-weeklies face, he suggests that, "Maybe this is no time (for the paper) to be fiddling with the editorial product and instead figuring out how to reach its core audience in the digital age."

Pasadena Weekly Pulls Story From Web Site Over Possible Copyingnew
A guest column in the paper's May 4 issue apparently contained phrases from a sermon that has been widely circulated on the Internet, according to the L.A. Times. The column was written by Pasadena schools superintendent Percy Clark, Jr., who has been a frequent target of the alt-weekly's criticism. PW pulled the column from its Web site after questions were raised about several passages that were similar to those found in the 1991 sermon. In a response posted on the paper's Web site, PW Editor Kevin Uhrich says, "in hindsight, I suppose we should have checked every word, but we do not do that with the other leaders in their fields, who are supposed to write with the authority that their positions afford them." Reviewing the similarities between Clark's column and the sermon, Uhrich asks, "Is Clark guilty of plagiarism, or did he merely use material that he did not properly attribute?" Uhrich also criticizes the local activist who publicized the story, who, he says, "may have done something similarly unethical, at least from a journalism perspective," by failing to reveal his source.

Weekly Alibi Asks a Mexican, Hears From Readers
After picking up OC Weekly's syndicated "Ask a Mexican" column, Editor Steven Robert Allen writes, the newspaper received "plenty of positive responses" but also "lots of angry calls and e-mails from people -- both Latinos and Anglos -- saying [the column is] promoting hate speech and negative racial stereotypes." Allen interviews the author, Gustavo Arellano, about the column's genesis and subsequent fallout. "Especially during these times, which are so contentious and fraught with animosity, when you have a column that's addressing these issues, not in a namby-pamby way but as blisteringly as possible, people want to read that," Arellano says.
