The Village Voice Will Stop Producing Its Free Weekly Print Edition

What is The Voice without its print edition? We'll soon find out.

Soon enough, The Village Voice will no longer be found among the colorful distribution boxes around the city bearing the gifts of free print. The publication announced today that will stop producing the print edition of the weekly that it has offered for free since 1996.

No specific end date has yet been set.

“When The Village Voice was converted into a free weekly in an effort to boost circulation back in 1996, it was at a time when Craigslist was in its infancy, Google and Facebook weren’t yet glimmers in the eyes of their founders, and alternative weeklies—and newspapers everywhere—were still packed with classified advertising.
