The Voice Turns 50new
The short history of alternative newspapers began fifty years ago today, when Norman Mailer, Dan Wolf and Ed Fancher published the first issue of the Village Voice. To celebrate its golden anniversary, the world's best-known alt-weekly published a special issue that provides a taste of "the notorious fractiousness, the intensely personal journalism, and all the other quirks that make the Voice the Voice." Among other things, the issue includes a mix of original essays, including Nat Hentoff on the history and spirit of the Voice, Jarrett Murphy on the history of Voice ownership, and Robert Christgau on how the Voice invented rock criticism.

Voice Senior VP and Circulation Director Succumbs to Cancernew
Robert Kasner, senior vice president and circulation director for Village Voice Media, died of liver cancer last week at the age of 53. Since 1998, Kasner oversaw the process of getting a quarter-million copies of the The Village Voice off the press and delivered to 1,700 locations. He also led the paper's battle against city rules that imposed tight restrictions on the free-newspaper industry. In an obituary in this week's Voice, publisher Judy Miszner says that Kasner "had an amazing intellect and kindness about him."
