The Village Voice returning with print and online edition in 2021

The Village Voice, the long-running New York alternative weekly culture paper, which also covered music, is returning both to digital content and print, after being acquired by Street Media, who currently publish LA Weekly. The digital publication will begin in January, with quarterly print editions starting in early 2021, the New York Times reports. Bob Baker, a former Voice editor, will be senior editor and content coordinator, and more former staffers will be hired. The cult alt-weekly ceased print publication in September 2017 and online publication a year later.
