Editorial: The 'plight' of the New Jersey commuter
There’s something familiar that I would see everyday at Gate 322 inside the Port Authority Bus Terminal. Around 5:30 p.m., it was like the movie “Escape From New York” come to life. During winter break, I had the pleasure of interning at the Village Voice in Manhattan for college credit. Internships are required for print journalism majors to graduate, and I figured I would get a...

Interview with John C. Michno, Long Island Bus...
1) Why does the Long Island Bus have a history of service cut threats? Michno: Because many of the people who use the buses are of lower income. Tom Suozzi, and the previous administration regard the bus system as a “welfare” service, instead of a public transportation system. However, it is the higher income folks, particularly in the Roslyn area, that make the buses more...

My Perspective on Convergence
There’s a lot of talk these days in the media world about the word ‘convergence.’ At its core, ‘convergence’ means two or more things coming together as one. In journalism, convergence is just that—the mass fusion of various media merging into one collective whole: text, video, photos, audio and the web all-in-one. Today’s journalists are not using darkrooms or pasting together the paper on...

Viewpoint: Rolling Stone got it wrong
I was disappointed to read Robert Christgau’s review on Rolling Stone.com about R&B singer/songwriter Alicia Key’s third album, “As I Am.” Since her 2001 debut, “Songs in A Minor,” Keys went multi-platinum, won Grammy awards for her sophomore effort, “The Diary of Alicia Keys” and became an international household name. After growing up in Manhattan’s Hell’s Kitchen, Alicia came a long way to...

Fares May Rise
Protesters showed up in droves at the Marriott Hotel in Brooklyn Heights Sunday evening to get one message clear and strong to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA)-no fare hike. With talk about wavering budget deficits, the MTA proposed a 6.5 percent increase in fares and tolls on New York City subways, buses, bridges and tunnels. The transportation authority is projecting $6 billion...
