Sorry about the little hiatus from Media Log. Deadline and a nasty bug of some sort are responsible. We should have a full head of steam up again by tomorrow. For now though, check out this New York magazine piece about the pending merger of the Village Voice and the New Times Media company.

These two quotes in the piece from New Times honcho Mike Lacey suggest it may get pretty ugly at the venerable Voice when the two companies' cultures actually get hitched.
--------------------------------------------------------

"I've got my own focus group in this town: 20-year-olds, 30-year-olds. They say, the Village Voice, no one reads that. I can't walk around town hearing nobody reads my paper. It wrecks my day. That's got to change. We're here to play, and anyone who likes to play like we play can play along."

And

Hearing some of this, Michael Lacey frowns. He'd been ranting about how even though he'd come from a union household, and his brother, who helped build the World Trade Center, was the president of a midwestern boilermakers local, which was no "pussy union," he had no use for organized labor. This didn't mean he expected any trouble from the Voice union. What he hoped would happen, Lacey said with confounding plutocrat noblesse oblige, was that the Voice employees would realize a union wasn't necessary, "because we take good care of our people."

Uh-oh.
