You can swipe. You can scroll. But New Yorkers will no longer be able to flip through The Village Voice. This week, the legendary alternative weekly announced that it's ending its free paper version.

Leidner was examining a region that included New York and New Jersey. One day he was thinking about the area’s electrical power grid.
