Here’s the casualty list of female employees at the Village Voice who have either quit or been fired since March, as compiled by Leon Neyfakh at the Observer:

  • Deanna Martin, deputy copy chief (quit)
  • Tricia Romano, reporter/NY nightclub guru (quit? fired? we’re unsure, as is the Observer)
  • Keisha Franklin, assoc. listings editor (quit)
  • Adamma Ince, deputy managing editor (quit)
  • Maggie Shnayerson, spokeswoman (quit, now at Gawker)
  • Laura Conaway, exec. director (fired)
  • Mara Altman, reporter (fired, currently shopping a book proposal)
  • Kristen Lombardi, reporter (fired after winning an AAN award)
  • Keach Hagey, media reporter (fired, now rocking out with her band)
  • Emma Span, sports columnist (fired, now working on a book for Random House)

    So, yeah… if you’re a woman and work at The House That Hentoff Built, now might be a good time to dust off those old contacts.
