New Village Voice Editor Is Tony Ortega
Tony Ortega, 43, has been named editor of the Village Voice. The hiring comes the first business day after Friday's firing of Village Voice editor David Blum.
Ortega is an 11-year veteran of Village Voice Media, the paper's parent company--specifically, of the New Times chain, which merged with the Voice chain in January 2006, taking the Voice name.
He was previously editor of New Times Broward-Palm Beach.

I give him 10 months. on the outside.
Tony had written some articles exposing Scientology (we are too a religion) quite a few years ago. If he survived all the trash Scientology put him through, I bet he'll do fine at The Village Voice. Wishing him luck.
Anyone started an office pool yet on how long he'll last?
I wish Tony well, he can't be any worse than the last bastid! Big ups to Flatbush!!
i give him 6 months, which would be longer than any other angeleno i know. someone please buy Mr. Ortega a metrocard and a generous bartab.
I can't believe it ... for Christ's sake, I've been quoting Blum in all the damn cover letters and resumes I'm sending out. I dig Blum ... he told me to 'make the ordinary, extraordinary.'
