David Schneiderman, #VillageVoice Editor& Publisher, Dies at 77

Named editor in chief in 1978, "Schneiderman elevated The Voice’s journalistic game, diversified a newsroom that was nearly all white and all male…"

"He hired Wayne Barrett, who investigated a real estate developer few took seriously, Donald J. Trump, & Teresa Carpenter, a crime reporter who in 1981 won The Voice its first Pulitzer Prize."
