Mondo Times editors Boulder, Colorado USA	Posted at 12:37pm on Tuesday, January 6th, 2009
In the January 5, 2009 issue of The New Yorker, Louis Menand wrote about the history of the Village Voice in the article "It Took A Village:" "The Village Voice was founded in 1955. It is one of the most successful enterprises in the history of American journalism. It began as a neighborhood paper serving an area about a tenth the size of the Left Bank, in Paris, and it became, within ten years, an nationally known brand the inspiration for a dozen other local papers across the country. By 1967, it was the best-selling weekly newspaper in the United States, with a single-day circulation higher than the circulations of ninety-five per cent of American big-city dailies. It survived the deaths of four other New York City newspapers and most of its imitators, and it has had a longer life than the weekly Life."
