Just nine months on the job, David Schneiderman has resigned his position as president of Village Voice Media, a gig he fell into during the merger with New Times. Poster Boy Keith Kelly, only able to weigh in twice weekly, arrives this morning with the details of how the exit went down.
However, few expected him to stay for long as he was clearly a man without a power base. He was given the job of exploring Web opportunities for the company, an area in which he had scant expertise. Even after he immersed himself in the new role, it didn't impress the new cowboys from Phoenix.
"The new guys held him in complete disregard," said one insider. It got so bad that one source said that while Schneiderman was in New Orleans recently delivering a presentation on the company's Web progress, Larkin made a point of taking out a newspaper and reading it while Schneiderman spoke.
And here we have it, folks. Just like Tom Freston, we lose Schneiderman for missing out on MySpace. Let's just add that to the tally of 28 previous also-rans, shall we?

My life's been basically boring. Not much on my mind today. I've just been letting everything pass me by recently, but such is life. Basically nothing seems worth bothering with, but eh. It's not important. I've just been hanging out doing nothing.
My life's been pretty dull lately, but I guess it doesn't bother me. I haven't been up to anything recently. Maybe tomorrow. I've pretty much been doing nothing worth mentioning. I haven't gotten much done these days. Pretty much nothing seems worth thinking about.
I've just been letting everything wash over me. I've pretty much been doing nothing. I've just been sitting around not getting anything done.
