New Voice Owner: 'I'd Be Crazy for Buying It If I Didn't Believe In It'

Someone believes in the paper.

Peter Barbey, the new owner of The Village Voice, thinks the best is yet to come for the paper. That’s not surprising — he’s not going to disparage a product he just bought — but it’s nice to know that there’s someone out there who has hope.

“I’d be crazy for buying it if I didn’t believe in it,” Barbey told Politico. “It is one of America’s great newspaper brands in terms of potential by the pound. I unequivocally believe there’s great value in the Village Voice brand.”
