Media Consolidation, Alternative-Stylenew
The Village Voice/New Times deal that
closed New Times Los Angeles and
VVM's Cleveland Free Times, is another
sign of an "imploding economy,"
Cynthia Cotts writes in The
Village Voice. She suggests that when
VVM's
venture capitalist owners start
looking
to cash out they could find a
buyer in
a daily newspaper chain or another
alternative media company.

New Times/Village Voice Deal: Cutting Lossesnew
Iconoclastic alternative weeklies are doing business like the big boys, former Washington City Paper Editor David Carr writes in the New York Times. Carr reports that New Times received $8 million from Village Voice Media to close its money-losing New Times Los Angeles. "The willingness of the two ferociously competitive chains to make a deal in their common interest could mean that the next big deal by the companies could leave only one standing," Carr writes.
