In their never-ending crusade against Village Voice sorta newbie head honcho Tony Ortega, Gawker brings up this latest development:

Village Voice Managing Editor Deborah Kolben has been let go; Ward Harkavy will be taking over the number two spot at the paper. With the recent resignation of Deputy Managing Editor Adamma Ince and the earlier dismissal of Executive Editor Laura Conaway, this means that the top of the Voice masthead now consists of four white guys and Film Editor Allison Benedikt. Attempts to reach Editor in Chief Tony Ortega were unsuccessful. Probably because it was some chick calling.

Plus, the people of color he is bringing in, like, use the word gabacho. Shudder.
