Village Voice Ousts Interim Editor Simmonsnew
One week after a partially fabricated story by Voice writer Nick Sylvester started a media furor, acting Editor-in-Chief Doug Simmons has been replaced by Senior Editor Ward Harkavy, the New York Post reports. A photograph of a note that Executive Editor Mike Lacey scrawled on a napkin is posted on the Village Voice Web site: "Doug Simmons is no longer acting editor. Ward Harkavy, long time senior editor, and Arizona Crony, is now interim editor. Call us tomorrow for next update." (Harkavy is a former New Times Inc. employee.) Lacey met with the New York Times' David Carr yesterday, but Carr told the Post, "we had a nice conversation about the editorial opportunity at the Village Voice, but it didn't involve me editing the paper." This morning, Lacey confirmed Simmons' departure but declined to say if the Sylvester incident was a factor. Harkavy told AP that he expected Sylvester would return to the Voice after his suspension.

'I'm Not as Big of an (Expletive) as I Used to Be,' Says Louis Blacknew
The co-founder and editor of the Austin Chronicle is a self-loathing, temperamental, explosive jerk. And that's just what his friends say about him. Despite his foibles, however, everyone seems to agree that this amazingly passionate man (pictured), co-founder of the SXSW music, film and interactive festivals, deserves a lot of credit for Austin's cultural prominence. "Without Black, a music fanatic and film savant, the self-proclaimed 'Live Music Capital of the World' would lack much of its cultural stock," writes Chris Garcia in the Austin American-Statesman. "I look back and think that in some ways I am the luckiest person I know," says Black. "I do what I love. I do it every day."
