Village Voice Lets Go Film Critic J. Hoberman

which he rose to senior film critic. The decision was naturally unsettling to Hoberman, but he told New York’s Daily Intel that it wasn’t a complete surprise because of the many changes and layoffs he witnessed at the paper.

Voice editor-in-chief Tony Ortega commented that the paper will continue to provide “comprehensive film coverage” through its other film writers.
