October 24, 2005 — The Washington Post reports that Phoenix-based New Times Media, the nation’s largest publisher of alternative weekly newspapers (including the Riverfront Times), is buying the owner of the Village Voice and its five sister newspapers, creating a company with 17 weekly publications and a combined circulation of 1.8 million. The new company will keep the Village Voice name but will be run by the two top executives of New Times Media.
