Village Voice Media has reportedly eliminated its national Executive Music Editor position, but the company is keeping the guy who had that job, VVM lifer John Nova Lomax, around; he’ll return to his old gig as music editor of the Houston Press, which means that Chris Gray, who held the Press‘ music-editor position until about an hour after he filed his final post-SXSW story, is out. Nice of the VVM folks to get their pound of barbecued flesh out of Gray right before they gave him his walking papers–never say that they don’t know how to keep it classy! [The Skyline]
