The Village Voice was launched by Ed Fancher, Dan Wolf, and Norman Mailer on October 26, 1955, from a two-bedroom apartment in Greenwich Village that was its initial coverage area, which expanded to other parts of the city by the 1960s. A spring print edition was released in April 2021. In January 2021, new original stories began being published again on the website. Baker announced that the paper would resume publishing new articles both online and in a quarterly print edition. The Voice continues to have an active website, which features archival material related to current events. After halting print publication in 2017, the Voice provided daily coverage through its website until August 31, 2018, when it announced it was ceasing production of new editorial content. The final printed edition, featuring a 1965 photo of Bob Dylan on the cover, was distributed on September 21, 2017. The Voice announced on August 22, 2017, that it would cease publication of its print edition and convert to a fully digital venture, on a date to be announced. In October 2015, The Village Voice changed ownership and severed all ties with former parent company Voice Media Group (VMG). The Village Voice hosted a variety of writers and artists, including writer Ezra Pound, cartoonist Lynda Barry, artist Greg Tate, and film critics Andrew Sarris, Jonas Mekas and J. Over its 63 years of publication, The Village Voice received three Pulitzer Prizes, the National Press Foundation Award, and the George Polk Award. After an ownership change, the Voice reappeared in print as a quarterly in April 2021. It ceased publication in 2017, although its online archives remained accessible. Founded in 1955 by Dan Wolf, Ed Fancher, John Wilcock, and Norman Mailer, the Voice began as a platform for the creative community of New York City.
