Village Voice hires ex-Dan’s Papers CEO ahead of print revival

The Village Voice, which has been hard to find on newsstands since 2017, has hired the former CEO of Dan’s Papers with bold plans to start publishing a regular print edition by early next year, Media Ink has learned.

Steven McKenna starts as chief revenue officer of the iconic paper on July 6 — working first on a commemorative issue for 9/11. “I think we will go monthly through December,” he said of the paper’s print plans. After that, he said, the goal is to return to print every other week.
