Breaking: Michael Cohen is announced as new Village Voice publisher as Judy Miszner steps down

Village Voice Media CEO Jim Larkin announced this evening that Michael Cohen will be the new publisher of The Village Voice, and will resign from his current position as publisher of the Miami New Times. He will officially begin at the Voice on January 30, 2006.

Cohen replaces Judy Miszner, who stepped down today as Village Voice publisher, a post she has held for seven years. In a Voice-wide email sent at 7pm this evening (and copying her counterparts at LA Weekly, CityPages, Seattle Weekly, Nashville Scene and OC Weekly), she thanked the Voice staff for making her time there the best of her career, and wrote:

During this period we have faced incredible challenges: 9/11, blackouts, a transit strike, the proliferation of free dailies and the transformation of the internet into a major competitor.
