Voice of the Times to disappear from Web

The Voice of the Times, an online conservative journal that represented the last vestige of the Anchorage Times, is going out of business.

Editor Tom Brennan says the loss of VECO Corp. funding has made it impossible to stay afloat.

Bill Allen, VECO’s former CEO and the former publisher of the Anchorage Times, paid for the Voice of the Times for years.

When VECO was sold, Voice of the Times personnel were told it had only one more year of funding.

Brennan says it’s been tough to find advertisers because of the former association with VECO.

Allen and another former VECO executive have pleaded guilty to bribing Alaska elected officials.
