'Village Voice' Names Sean Gardiner New Courts Reporter

Posted
By: E&P Staff Sean Gardiner, the federal courts reporter for the Sun-Sentinel (Fla.), has accepted a job as a reporter for the beleaguered-of-late Village Voice (N.Y.).

Gardiner says he isn't concerned about the geographic change, having done time at Newsday (N.Y.) in the past.

"Over two stints, I?ve lived and worked in New York for 10 years. I know the landscape, I?ve got a lot of sources there. Covering the criminal justice system in NYC is the best job I could imagine.?

The format of the alternative free weekly also appeals to Gardiner.

?My strength is what I now hear called ?long form journalism? (we used to just call it reporting out a story),? he says. ?The dailies don?t do much of that anymore.?
