Ben Westhoff Promoted to Senior Music Editor for Village Voice Media

LA Weekly music editor Ben Westhoff has been promoted by the paper’s parent company to the position of senior music editor, and will now be in charge of music coverage for all 13 of the Village Voice Media’s alternative newsweeklies. He tells FishbowlLA, “My primary responsibilities are still as LA Weekly music editor.”

Westhoff also responded to David Carr’s suggestion that he had something to do with the recent departure of Village Voice music editor Maura Johnston:

My responsibilities do not include hiring/firing, so I didn’t fire Maura.
