In 2002, New Times Media, which published The Scene, agreed to shut down its Los Angeles alternative paper in exchange for an $8 million payment, while Village Voice Media agreed to shut down its competing Cleveland Free Times for a smaller payment, triggering a federal antitrust investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice.
