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.

Times paid VVM a lesser amount to
shutter

New Times LA's Spoof Riles NBCnew
"I hope it gets people to think about the
nature of television and the
business that it does." So says Tony
Ortega, a New Times LA writer who
admits that "maybe" he penned a "news
story" reporting that NBC is about to cut a
deal for "Survive This!" -- a "'Survivor'
meets Hannibal Lechter"-style reality
series starring the two California
teenagers whose recent abduction and
rape made the national news. An NBC
spokeswoman says there is "no truth" to
the story. Another New Times paper, the
Dallas Observer, was sued earlier
this
year by two local officials targeted in
a
similar spoof.
