Village Voice Editor's Resignation Memo

To: Everyone
Subject: Change

I have submitted my resignation today as editor-in-chief to Judy Miszner, effective December 31, 2005. A number of prospects have presented themselves and I think this is an opportune time to explore them.

These nine years have been exciting for me because of what this paper does and what it represents to the city; and that’s because of all of you. I am proud of what we have accomplished together.

I thank you for sharing your talent with me and wish you and the Voice good times and great fortune.
