Village Voice Separates Itself from Backpage.com
A trio of Village Voice Media’s senior management team has purchased all 13 alt-weekly papers and their digital properties, but not backpage.com, the site which was infamously tied to prostitution. The new company is called Voice Media Group, and is led by Scott Tobias, formerly the COO of Village Voice Media; Jeff Mars, formerly executive VP of finance; and Christine Brennan, formerly executive managing editor.
Voice Media will be able to now operate the papers without backlash from ownership of Backpage.com.
