New York City weekly publication The Village Voice has appointed Gothamist features editor Christopher Robbins to the role of city editor.
He begins the job in mid-June.
Robbins has been with New York-based news and culture website Gothamist since early 2011, where he started as an intern. He’s since written more than 4,000 articles for the site and was instrumental to Gothamist’s forays into breaking news coverage. Prior to joining Gothamist, he was previously a contributing editor to Brooklyn-based music publication Impose Magazine.
Robbins will now be responsible for day-to-day oversight of content on villagevoice.com, will expand the site’s contributor base and strengthen its coverage of city politics. He will also contribute to the weekly paper.
The Village Voice, the famed New York newspaper that birthed the alternative weekly media category, in October was acquired by Reading, PA-based publisher Peter Barbey, owner of daily newspaper Reading Eagle.
