There's Almost No One Left At The New York Press To Even Turn Out The Lights
We're hearing that "very young and green" arts editor Jerry Portwood will take over for Adario Strange at the New York Press, leaving him as the sole editor at the beleaguered alt-weekly. (Managing Editor Natalie Dolce was fired resigned last week.) Strange, we hear, resigned largely because the NYP couldn't continue to pay him a living wage, though he also had a reputation as a bit of a diva; Portwood will be making "much less," according to an insider, and is reportedly easier to get along with—though who knows how much longer we'll have the Press to kick around. Can't someone swoop in and buy this thing, already? Really, it's getting hard to watch.
