La Voz Silenced?

I'm getting calls from sources who say that the Republic is closing La Voz.  I called La Voz and asked them to confirm or deny the story and they referred me to a manager who is out of the office.  There are many situations where a lack of denial is tantamount to confirmation and this looks like it might be one of them. 

Last November I pointed out that the Republic was neglecting the La Voz website, and I had this assesement.

The Republic's acquisition of La Voz is like the guitar I bought in high school.  It seemed like a really cool idea and I was excited about it for a few weeks, but then my fingers hurt and I could only play three chords anyway, so it sat in the closet until my mom gave it to Goodwill. 

Then last December, I broke the story that Teclo Garcia was moving back to Texas and it looked like La Voz was actually sinking faster than the Republic itself. 

Now the word is that the Republic has decided to fold La Voz and when I call for confirmation, they ask me to call back later. 

This would be a stunning end to the Republic's experiment with Spanish media.

What's odd about this is that AZCentral has a new job posting for a La Vos designer and old ones still posted for translator and distributor.

Have you picked up a copy of the paper lately? It is full, and full of ads, too. Same with TV y más.
Have you looked at the web sites lately? The print side is being updated approx. twice a week; the azcentral.com/lavoz site is being updated daily Monday-Friday.
Ask me how I know. ¡Ven! ¡Pregúntame!

No response from La Voz? That's standard operating procedure for them, so it's hard to tell if it's related to a possible shut-down. In my experience, the reality is if you're not of Mexican descent, you're lucky to ever get a response from La Voz staff (before or after Republic take-over).

I'm not Mexican, but I am offended by Stan Mikita's comment. I deal with La Voz all the time and I never have a problem getting the information I need. As a matter of fact, they are usually quite prompt and very courteous to me. Maybe Stan's bad attitude is why he gets treated the way he does.
