Michael Lacey Talks About the Village Voicenew
New York Magazine's lengthy feature asks: Can the "potty-mouthed new owner" make the legendary downtown paper "relevant again?" In a colorful interview, New Times' executive editor reveals his hopes "that the Voice employees would realize a union wasn’t necessary" and says that he likes "the arts coverage. But we’ve got to work on the front of the book." In response to charges of conservatism, Lacey argues that his "papers have butt-violated every goddamn politician who ever came down the pike" before concluding, "Of course, you want people who love the place, but this is a business that is based on performance. It isn’t a legacy." VVM CEO David Schneiderman and several present and former Voice staffers also offer their thoughts on changes at the paper.

LA Prosecutor Responds to Meyerson, Laceynew
Los Angeles County Dist. Atty. Steve
Cooley calls a column by LA
Weekly's Harold Meyerson and a
letter to the editor of the Wall Street
Journal written by New Times'
Michael Lacey "self-interested
positions staked out by those who are
directly affected by this investigation."
Cooley claims he reads LA Weekly
"because it is a valuable news
organ" and says New Times LA was
"occasionally very funny, on occasion very
insightful, on occasion very cruel." He
argues that "It's wrong ... to attribute
political motives to government
agencies that are just doing their jobs. ...
we're at the investigative stage. At the end
of the exercise, there may be a
determination that what's been uncovered
falls short of establishing a violation
of the law."

Lacey, Savage Respond to WSJ Commentarynew
When you call us wealthy monopolist
bullies, "(d)o you mean this in the
positive sense of wealthy, monopolist
bullies?" New Times' Michael
Lacey asks the Wall Street Journal,
which last week ran a commentary by
Daniel Akst on the New
Times-Village Voice Media antitrust
investigation. In his letter to the editor,
Lacey says the Justice Dept. "is trying to
create legal theory with this ... probe",
which he calls a "stunning grab for
unprecedented federal power." In a
separate letter, Dan Savage,
editor of The Stranger (and AAN Editorial
Awards Host-for-Life), says his paper
was "distressed to be lumped in with
other alternative weekly papers."
