"On the Media"
Mark Jurkowitz says Village Voice Media executive editor
Michael Lacey's tough-guy approach with the Village Voice staff has been sad to witness. "Frankly, when you have people like
Nat Hentoff, who is about 80, and
Sydney Schanberg, who's in his 70s, men who helped define journalism for a generation or two, I don't find it particularly appealing that you would go out of your way to pick fights with folks like that." Lacey tells
Bob Garfield: "I said you need to pick up the phone and interview people. I want you to do fundamental reporting and not simply riffing about what had occurred to you that day. And apparently, that was too much to expect." || More "OTM"
