After being suspended from the Village Voice for writing a fabricated cover story this week, Nick Sylvester has just been forced to quit his other job as associate editor at Pitchfork Media.
According to the Modern Age, Pitchfork has even taken his name off the masthead already. Old Masthead, New Masthead.
Last month Sylvester was a presenter at the Plug Awards, but ended up getting pulled off the stage after spending over 5 minutes reading an article out of the New Yorker. [Picture via Brooklyn Vegan]
We wonder how long it will take before someone makes "Save Sylvester!" t-shirts.
