Forst beats them to the punch

Village Voice editor Don Forst resigned effective December 31, leaving ahead of the New Times takeover of his paper (along with the LA Weekly and OC Weekly.) "A number of prospects have presented themselves and I think this is an opportune time to explore them," he says in a memo at Romenesko. Forst is a former editor of the late Herald Examiner, but his departure will be noted more in L.A. for its potential insight into the future of Weekly editor Laurie Ochoa.
