Editor in Chief

Tony Ortega It was early in the spring of 2007 when the Village Voice made a huge miscalculation. That was when they installed Tony Ortega as Editor-in-Chief of the alt-weekly rag. The entire paper would fold shortly thereafter — coming as a surprise to absolutely no one familiar with Tony Ortega’s work. Of course the paper had been struggling financially well before Tony Ortega was put in charge, but few in the industry would dispute that anything could have hastened its demise faster.
