The Village Voice

The Village Voice is a New York weekly newspaper, the investigative articles, analysis of current political developments and culture, arts reviews and event information for New York City published. She was the first and is probably still the best known of the alternative weeklies as designated publications.

The Voice was founded in autumn 1955 by Daniel Wolf, Ed Fancher and Norman Mailer. She has published groundbreaking investigative journalism to the city politics of New York City and reports on local and national policy as well as the arts, culture, music, dance, film and theater. An influential music list, known as Pazz & Jop is created every year from the " top ten" by music critics across the country.

For the Voice many famous writers have written, including Ezra Pound, Henry Miller, Katherine Anne Porter, James Baldwin, ee cummings, Nat Hentoff, Ted Hoagland, Tom Stoppard, Lorraine Hansberry, Jerry Tallmer, Allen Ginsberg, Murray Kempton, IF Stone, Pete Hamill, Michael Musto and Roger Wilkins.

Some previous editors include Daniel Wolf, Clay Felker, Tom Morgan, Marianne Partridge, David Schneiderman, Robert Friedman, Marty Gottlieb, Jonathan Larsen, and Karen Durbin.

Among the competitors of the Voice in New York City include New York Press, New York Observer and Time Out New York. After having to pay for decades for the voice, the competitive pressure of the free New York Press has meant that the voice is also free since the late 1990s. Its circulation was 189 462 in June 2010.

The Village Voice is politically attributed to the left.

Some newspapers in the United States include the Voice: City Pages ( Minneapolis-St. Paul ), LA Weekly, Nashville Scene, OC Weekly, and Seattle Weekly.
