You are just of an age where the periodical wasn't really relevant any longer as another poster mentioned -- it started it's decline in the early 2000s. EE Cummings was known for way more than just the village voice.

It wouldn't have died maybe if it did an OK job of connecting with people born after say 1977

Tell me about your experience in publishing. How many publications have you run?

When I read this again, it sounds much more aggressive than I intended. I really wasn't trying to be a dick, I just wanted to figure out where anoncoward was coming from and what kind of experience he/she had to enable such strong opinions.

I have published indie monthlies and I'd chalk the Voice's demise up to things like a serious decline in classifieds revenue, trouble getting visibility once they were online only, and the kind of advertising/printing problems that only an indie weekly could experience.

If the sub thirty crowd is that powerful, I'd genuinely love to know.
