The Village Voice to Stop Printing after 62 Years
-------------------------------------------------

In New York City, the influential alternative weekly newspaper The
Village Voice has announced it will stop its print publication after 62
years. Founded in 1955 by Dan Wolf, Ed Fancher and Norman Mailer, the
left-leaning paper was the first alternative weekly in the United
States. It's won multiple Pulitzer Prizes over the years. It's also
helped launch the careers of some of the nation's best writers,
including Pulitzer-Prize winners Hilton Als and Colson Whitehead. The
Village Voice will now continue as an online publication.
