[[Image:Vicelogo.PNG|thumb|Logo of the magazine]]'''''Vice''''' is a free [[magazine]] and [[media conglomerate]] founded in [[Montreal]], [[Quebec]] and currently based in [[New York City]].


'''''Vice''''' (stylized in [[all caps]]) is a Canadian-American magazine focused on lifestyle, arts, culture, and news/politics. It was founded in 1994 in [[Montreal]] as an alternative [[Punk subculture|punk]] magazine,<ref>{{Cite web |date=22 June 2019 |title=Online magazine Vice closes Montreal office |url=https://montreal.ctvnews.ca/online-magazine-vice-closes-montreal-office-1.4478207 |access-date=19 February 2024 |website=Montreal |language=en |archive-date=19 February 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240219191252/https://montreal.ctvnews.ca/online-magazine-vice-closes-montreal-office-1.4478207 |url-status=live }}</ref> and its founders later launched the youth media company [[Vice Media]], which consists of divisions including the printed magazine as well as a website, broadcast news unit, a film production company, a record label, and a publishing [[Imprint (trade name)|imprint]]. As of February 2015, the magazine's editor-in-chief is Ellis Jones.<ref>{{Cite web | last = Sterne | first = Peter | title = Vice E.I.C.

''Vice'' is available in 19 countries. Editions are published in [[Canada]], [[Austria]], [[Australia]], [[Belgium]], [[Bulgaria]], [[Brazil]], [[Czech Republic]], [[France]], [[Germany]], the [[Netherlands]], [[Italy]], [[Japan]], [[Spain]], [[Mexico]], [[New Zealand]], [[Poland]], [[Russia]], [[Scandinavia]], the [[United Kingdom]], [[South Africa]] and the [[United States]]. It is free and supports itself primarily through [[advertising]].{{Citation needed|date=January 2010}} The current editor-in-chief is Jesse Pearson. The current UK editor is [[Andy Capper]].

On 15 May 2023, Vice Media formally filed for [[Chapter 11, Title 11, United States Code|Chapter 11 bankruptcy]], as part of a possible sale to a consortium of lenders including Fortress Investment Group, which will, alongside [[Soros Fund Management]] and Monroe Capital, invest $225 million as a credit bid for nearly all of its assets.<ref name=c11>{{cite web|title=Vice Media Files For Chapter 11 Bankruptcy|website=[[Deadline Hollywood]]|first=Jesse|last=Whittock|date=15 May 2023|access-date=15 May 2023|url=https://deadline.com/2023/05/vice-media-chapter-11-bankruptcy-1235366640/|archive-date=15 May 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230515081704/https://deadline.com/2023/05/vice-media-chapter-11-bankruptcy-1235366640/|url-status=live}}</ref> In February 2024, CEO Bruce Dixon announced additional layoffs and that the website Vice.com will no longer publish content.<ref name=":9" /><ref name=":10" /><ref name=":2" /> The print magazine returned in September 2024.<ref name=":3" /><ref>{{Cite news |last=Kharas |first=Kevin Lee |date=September 24, 2024 |title=VICE Magazine Is Coming Back |url=https://www.vice.com/en/article/vice-magazine-is-coming-back/ |work=Vice}}</ref>

[[Richard Szalwinski]], a Canadian software millionaire, acquired the magazine and relocated the operation to New York City in the late 1990s. Following the relocation, the magazine quickly developed a reputation for provocative and [[politically incorrect]] content. Under Szalwinski's ownership, a few retail stores were opened in New York City and customers could purchase fashion items that were advertised in the magazine. However, due to the end of the [[dot-com bubble]], the three founders eventually regained ownership of the ''Vice'' brand, followed by closure of the stores.<ref name="Rob" />
==Content==
''Vice'''s content has shifted from dealing mostly with independent arts and [[pop culture|pop cultural]] matters to covering more serious news topics, although both are often treated with the same spirit of blithe and caustic irreverence. ''Vice'' has championed the "[[Immersionism|Immersionist]]" school of journalism, which it regards as something of a [[DIY]] antithesis to the big-office methods practiced by traditional news outlets, and has published an entire issue composed of articles written in this manner. There have also been issues of the magazine wholly dedicated to concerns facing [[Iraqi people]],<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.viceland.com/int/v14n3/htdocs/ |title=The Iraq Issue |accessdate=2009-01-28 |publisher= Vice |date= }}</ref> [[Indigenous peoples of the Americas|Native Americans]],<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.viceland.com/int/v13n1/htdocs/ |title=The Native Issue |accessdate=2009-01-28 |publisher= Vice |date= }}</ref> [[Russian people]],<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.viceland.com/int/v13n4/htdocs/ |title=The Russia Issue |accessdate=2009-01-28 |publisher= Vice |date= }}</ref> people with [[mental disorders]],<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.viceland.com/int/v12n2/htdocs/ |title=The Mentally Ill Issue |accessdate=2009-01-28 |publisher= Vice |date= }}</ref> and people with [[mental disabilities]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.viceland.com/int/v9n11/htdocs/ |title=The Special Issue |accessdate=2009-01-28 |publisher= Vice |date= }}</ref> ''Vice'' also publishes an annual guide for [[student]]s in the UK.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.viceland.com/issues_uk/guide_student/htdocs/ |title=Student Guide |accessdate=2009-03-10 |publisher= Vice |date= }}</ref>


The British edition of ''Vice'' was launched in 2002 and [[Andy Capper]] was its first editor. Capper explained in an interview shortly after the UK debut that the publication's remit was to cover "the things we're meant to be ashamed of", and articles were published on topics such as [[bukkake]] and bodily functions.<ref name="Pug">{{cite web|author1=Andrew Pugh|title='Maybe we've grown up': Ten years on, how ''Vice'' magazine got serious|url=http://www.pressgazette.co.uk/‘maybe-we’ve-grown-up’-ten-years-how-vice-magazine-got-serious|website=Press Gazette|publisher=Progressive Media International|access-date=7 November 2014|date=28 February 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141123191001/http://www.pressgazette.co.uk/%E2%80%98maybe-we%E2%80%99ve-grown-up%E2%80%99-ten-years-how-vice-magazine-got-serious|archive-date=23 November 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref>
In 2007, ''Vice'' announced: "After umpteen years of putting out what amounted to a reference book every month, we started to get bored with it. Besides, too many other magazines have ripped it and started doing their own lame take on themes. So we're going to do some issues, starting now, that have whatever we feel like putting in them."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://vice.typepad.com/vice_magazine/2007/04/dear_vice_reade.html |title=Dear Vice Readers! |accessdate=2008-07-01 |publisher= Vice |date=11 April 2007 }}</ref>


By the end of 2007, 13 foreign editions of ''Vice'' magazine were published, the Vice independent record label was functional, and the online video channel VBS.com had 184,000 unique viewers from the U.S. during the month of August. The media company was still based in New York City, but the magazine began featuring articles on topics that were considered more serious, such as armed conflict in Iraq, than previous content. Alvi explained to ''[[The New York Times]]'' in November 2007: "The world is much bigger than the Lower East Side and the East Village."<ref name="Rob" />
===Dos and Don'ts===
The magazine's "DOs and DON'Ts" feature displays candid photographs of strangers in public places accompanied by commentary either ridiculing or praising the fashion and perceived sensibility of the people in the photos. Some DOs and DON'Ts do not seriously address fashion, but merely couple the photos with humorous commentary. The idea has also been [[Spin-off (media)|spun off]] into a book, and has been imitated by other publications. In February 2009, prompted by a single similar column in ''[[Glamour (magazine)|Glamour]]'' called "Dudes and Don'ts", a ''Vice'' blog entry announced the imminent end of the feature.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.viceland.com/wp/2009/02/the-end-of-dos-donts/ |title=The internet - The end of Dos & Don’ts |accessdate=2009-02-25 |publisher= Vice |date=6 February 2009 }}</ref> However, it has so far continued.


McInnes left the publication in 2008, citing "creative differences" as the primary issue. In an email communication dated 23 January, McInnes explained: "I no longer have anything to do with ''Vice'' or VBS or DOs & DON'Ts or any of that. It's a long story but we've all agreed to leave it at 'creative differences,' so please don't ask me about it."<ref>{{cite web|title=Co-Founder Gavin McInnes Finally Leaves 'Vice'|author=
===Controversy===
Articles such as ''The Vice Guide to Shagging Muslims'' and ''Bukkake On My Face: Welcome to the Ancient Tradition of the Japanese Facial'' have precipitated the magazine being banned from a number of university [[campus]]es. The ''VICE Guide to Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll'' was banned from some bookstores in 2003.<ref>[http://gawker.com/013215/vice-magazine-banned-from-bookstore Vice banned from bookstores] [[Gawker]]. 3 September 2003</ref>

''Vice'' has also been accused of using [[irony]] to conceal reactionary politics and to promote conservative, racist, and sexist attitudes.<ref>http://www.asfarasicantell.com/2005/01/</ref><ref>[http://www.newsweek.com/id/59876 The New Cool] News Week. 25 September 2003</ref><ref>[http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9404E5D8123DF93BA1575AC0A9659C8B63&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=1 The Edge of Hip: Vice, the Brand] New York Times. 28 September 2008</ref><ref>[http://www.counterpunch.org/bailey07022005.html Mesh Caps, Vice Magazine and the Trouble with Irony] Counter Punch. 2–4 July 2005</ref> In August 2003, ''Vice'' cofounder Gavin McInnes wrote a piece in ''[[The American Conservative]]'' entitled "Hip to Be Square: It’s getting cooler to be conservative".


At the commencement of 2012, an article in ''[[Forbes (magazine)|Forbes]]'' magazine referred to the Vice company as "Vice Media", but the precise time when this title development occurred is not public knowledge.<ref>{{cite news|author1=Jeff Bercovici|title=Tom Freston's $1 Billion Revenge: Ex-Viacom Chief Helps Vice Become the Next MTV|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffbercovici/2012/01/03/tom-frestons-1-billion-revenge-ex-viacom-chief-helps-vice-become-the-next-mtv/|website=Forbes|publisher=Forbes, LLC|access-date=8 November 2014|date=3 January 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141108083023/http://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffbercovici/2012/01/03/tom-frestons-1-billion-revenge-ex-viacom-chief-helps-vice-become-the-next-mtv/|archive-date=8 November 2014|url-status=live}}</ref> ''Vice'' acquired the fashion magazine ''[[i-D]]'' in December 2012 and, by February 2013, ''Vice'' produced 24 global editions of the magazine, with a global circulation of 1,147,000 (100,000 in the UK). By this stage, Alex Miller had replaced Capper as the editor-in-chief of the UK edition. Furthermore, ''Vice'' consisted of 800 worldwide employees, including 100 in London, and around 3,500 freelancers also produced content for the company.<ref name="Pug" />
McInnes' views on [[immigration]] have generated controversy. In a September 2003 interview with ''[[The New York Times]]'', McInnes stated, "I love being white and I think it's something to be very proud of." He also remarked, "I don't want our culture diluted. We need to close the borders now and let everyone assimilate to a Western, white, English-speaking way of life." McInnes has since said that the interview was a prank on the young fashion journalist who wrote the piece.<ref name=gaw>[http://gawker.com/news/diary/letter-to-gawker-from-gavin-mcinnes-13468.php Letter to Gawker from Gavin McInnes] Gawker. 29 September 2003</ref>


In February 2015, Vice Media named Ellis Jones editor-in-chief of ''Vice'' magazine and former UK editor-in-chief, Alex Miller, was appointed to the position of global head of content.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/2015/feb/12/vice-media-alex-miller-ellis-jones|title=Vice announces new global head of content and editor-in-chief|last=Baird|first=Dugald|date=12 February 2015|work=The Guardian|access-date=5 February 2020|language=en-GB|issn=0261-3077|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200205152848/https://www.theguardian.com/media/2015/feb/12/vice-media-alex-miller-ellis-jones|archive-date=5 February 2020|url-status=live}}</ref>
Later, responding to the controversy, McInnes stated that "[[baby boomer]] media like ''[[The New York Times]]'' is a laughing stock, and we should do whatever we can to ridicule it".<ref name=gaw/>


In 2018, the magazine switched to a quarterly publication schedule, though issues still generally explored a single theme.<ref>{{Cite web |title=VICE Magazine's Dystopia and Utopia Issue is Now Online - VICE |url=https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/mbx3ea/vice-magazines-dystopia-and-utopia-issue-is-now-online-v25n1 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190121064045/https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/mbx3ea/vice-magazines-dystopia-and-utopia-issue-is-now-online-v25n1 |archive-date=21 January 2019 |access-date=20 January 2019}}</ref> The publication was put on hiatus in 2019.<ref name=":3">{{Cite web |last=Stenberg |first=Mark |date=2024-09-24 |title=Vice Debuts Subscription Product and Relaunches Magazine |url=https://www.adweek.com/media/vice-subscription-magazine-relaunch/ |access-date=2024-09-26 |website=[[Adweek]] |language=en-US}}</ref>
A more recent controversial article is [http://www.viceland.com/blogs/en/2010/07/05/first-amendment-fashion-statements-offensive-t-shirts-are-the-american-way/ First Amendment Fashion Statements Offensive T-shirts Are The American Way], which satirizes and deconstructs the notion of [[freedom of speech]] in the [[first amendment]]. It basically exposes the flaws and duality of what is socially not considered fair-game of ridicule and what is protected by freedom of speech. The sarcastic t-shirts read the phrases such as, "September 11, 2001 was a blast", or featured pictures such as Mother Teresa in sexual intercourse. <ref>[http://www.viceland.com/blogs/en/2010/07/05/first-amendment-fashion-statements-offensive-t-shirts-are-the-american-way/]</ref>


In 2023, ''Vice'' filed for [[Chapter 11]] bankruptcy. The company's lenders—[[Fortress Investment Group]], [[Soros Fund Management]] and [[Monroe Capital]]—agreed to purchase the company for $225 million.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://techcrunch.com/2023/05/15/after-a-29-year-run-vice-files-for-bankruptcy/|title=After a 29-year run, Vice files for bankruptcy|first=Amanda|last=Silberling|date=15 May 2023|access-date=16 May 2023|archive-date=15 May 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230515153501/https://techcrunch.com/2023/05/15/after-a-29-year-run-vice-files-for-bankruptcy/|url-status=live}}</ref> In February 2024, ''[[The New York Times]]'' highlighted that "over the past half-decade, ''Vice'' has had near annual layoffs and mounting losses, and has filed for bankruptcy, making it the poster child for the battered digital-media industry" and that while "some observers hoped its new owners [...] would reinvest" in the company, Fortress Investment Group has instead "decided to make sweeping cuts".<ref name=":2">{{Cite news |last=Mullin |first=Benjamin |date=22 February 2024 |title=Vice's New Owners Prepare to Slash What's Left of Its Work Force |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/22/business/vices-new-layoffs.html |access-date=22 February 2024 |work=[[The New York Times]] |archive-date=22 February 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240222205538/https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/22/business/vices-new-layoffs.html |url-status=live }}</ref>
===Politics===
In a March 2008 interview with ''[[The Guardian]]'', Shane Smith (co-founder) was questioned about the magazine's political allegiances: "We're not trying to say anything politically in a paradigmatic left/right way...We don't do that because we don't believe in either side. Are my politics [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democrat]] or [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]]? I think both are horrific. And it doesn't matter anyway. Money runs America; money runs everywhere."<ref name=gua/>


In September 2024, Vice Media relaunched its print magazine and will publish issues quarterly. The company has a goal of reaching 20,000 subscribers within a year.<ref name=":3" />
===Photography===
Vice is well known for publishing and using some of the best young and up and coming photographers{{Citation needed|date=September 2009}}, and big names across the States and Europe, starting the career for many. These have included [[Terry Richardson]], [[Richard Kern]], [[Jamie Warren]], [[Jerry Hsu]], [[Jonnie Craig]], [[Ben Rayner]], [[Craig Cowling]] and [[Patrick O’Dell]].


==Staff==
Vice is characterised by an irreverent style of photography. Examples of subjects have been ex-[[convicts]] showing how to make a shiv-proof vest out of magazines or malnourished [[Bangladesh]]i children posing for a fashion shoot.

===Fiction===
==Content==
===Scope===
Vice has published three annual fiction issues. Notable inclusions include interviews with [[Dennis Cooper]] and [[Harold Bloom]] and stories by [[Ann Beattie]], [[Stephen Dixon (author)|Stephen Dixon]], [[Tao Lin]], and [[Carlton Mellick III]].
''Vice'' magazine includes the work of journalists, columnists, fiction writers, graphic artists and cartoonists, and photographers. Both ''Vice''{{'}}s online and magazine content has shifted from dealing mostly with independent arts and [[pop culture|pop cultural]] matters to covering more serious news topics. Due to the large array of contributors and the fact that often writers will only submit a small number of articles with the publication, ''Vice''{{'}}s content varies dramatically and its political and cultural stance is often unclear or contradictory. Articles on the site feature a range of subjects, often things not covered as by mainstream media. The magazine's editors have championed the [[Immersion journalism|immersionist school of journalism]], which has been passed to other properties of Vice Media such as the documentary television show [[Balls Deep (TV Series)|''Balls Deep'']] on the [[Viceland]] Channel. This style of journalism is regarded as something of a DIY antithesis to the methods practiced by mainstream news outlets, and has published an entire issue of articles written in accordance with this ethos. Entire issues of the magazine have also been dedicated to the concerns of [[Iraqi people]],<ref name="iraqissue"/> [[Indigenous peoples of the Americas|Native Americans]],<ref name="nativeissue"/> [[Russian people]],<ref name="ru"/> people with [[mental disorders]],<ref name="ill"/> and people with [[mental disabilities]].<ref name="special"/> ''Vice'' also publishes an annual guide for students in the [[United Kingdom]].<ref name="student"/>


In 2007, a ''Vice'' announcement was published on the Internet: <blockquote>After umpteen years of putting out what amounted to a reference book every month, we started to get bored with it. Besides, too many other magazines have ripped it and started doing their own lame take on themes. So we're going to do some issues, starting now, that have whatever we feel like putting in them.<ref name="dearreaders" /></blockquote>
=== Comics issue ===
In 2006<ref>''Vice'' vol. 13, #5.</ref> ''Vice'' published a special comics issue guest-edited by [[Johnny Ryan]]. True to the [[Underground comix|underground]] spirit of both the magazine and Ryan, the collection of one-page comics were mostly crude, scatological, sexually perverse, and/or violent in nature. The more than thirty contributors included cover illustrator [[Al Jaffee]], Ryan, [[Peter Bagge]], [[Steven Weissman]], [[Gary Panter]], [[Jordan Crane]], [[Robert Crumb]], [[Dave Cooper]], [[Tony Millionaire]], [[Mary Fleener]], [[Martin Kellerman]], [[Sam Henderson]], [[Rick Altergott]], [[Sophie Crumb]], and [[Sammy Harkham]].


==Other ventures==
===Politics===
In a March 2008 interview with ''[[The Guardian]]'', Smith was asked about the magazine's political allegiances and he stated, "We're not trying to say anything politically in a paradigmatic left/right way… We don't do that because we don't believe in either side. Are my politics [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democrat]] or [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]]? I think both are horrific. And it doesn't matter anyway. Money runs America; money runs everywhere."<ref name=gua/>
===Publishing===
The magazine has published the collections ''The DOs and DON'Ts Book'' and ''The Vice Guide to Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll''. In 2008, ''The Vice Photo Book'' was released, a collection of the most powerful photography published in previous editions of Vice.<ref>[http://www.harpmagazine.com/reviews/book_reviews/detail.cfm?article_id=6822 The Vice Photo Book (book review)] [[Harp (magazine)|Harp]].

Vice (stylized in all caps) is a Canadian-American magazine focused on lifestyle, arts, culture, and news/politics. It was founded in 1994 in Montreal as an alternative punk magazine,[2] and its founders later launched the youth media company Vice Media, which consists of divisions including the printed magazine as well as a website, broadcast news unit, a film production company, a record label, and a publishing imprint. As of February 2015, the magazine's editor-in-chief is Ellis Jones.[3][4]

On 15 May 2023, Vice Media formally filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, as part of a possible sale to a consortium of lenders including Fortress Investment Group, which will, alongside Soros Fund Management and Monroe Capital, invest $225 million as a credit bid for nearly all of its assets.[5] In February 2024, CEO Bruce Dixon announced additional layoffs and that the website Vice.com will no longer publish content.[6][7][8] The print magazine returned in September 2024.[9][10]

History

[edit]

Founded by Suroosh Alvi, Gavin McInnes, and Shane Smith (the latter two being childhood friends),[11] the magazine was launched in October 1994 as a spin-out of the English-language portion of the Revue Images, a multicultural publication founded in the early 1990s by Dominique Ollivier with Alix Laurent,[12] under the name Voice of Montreal.[13] Voice of Montreal was split out from Revue Images with salary assistance through a Quebec welfare grant.[14] The intention of the founders was to provide work and a community service.[15] When the editors later sought to dissolve their commitments with the original publisher, Images Interculturelles (represented by Alix Laurent), they bought out the publisher and changed the magazine's name to Vice in 1996.[16][17]

Richard Szalwinski, a Canadian software millionaire, acquired the magazine and relocated the operation to New York City in the late 1990s. Following the relocation, the magazine quickly developed a reputation for provocative and politically incorrect content. Under Szalwinski's ownership, a few retail stores were opened in New York City and customers could purchase fashion items that were advertised in the magazine. However, due to the end of the dot-com bubble, the three founders eventually regained ownership of the Vice brand, followed by closure of the stores.[11]

The British edition of Vice was launched in 2002 and Andy Capper was its first editor. Capper explained in an interview shortly after the UK debut that the publication's remit was to cover "the things we're meant to be ashamed of", and articles were published on topics such as bukkake and bodily functions.[18]

By the end of 2007, 13 foreign editions of Vice magazine were published, the Vice independent record label was functional, and the online video channel VBS.com had 184,000 unique viewers from the U.S. during the month of August. The media company was still based in New York City, but the magazine began featuring articles on topics that were considered more serious, such as armed conflict in Iraq, than previous content. Alvi explained to The New York Times in November 2007: "The world is much bigger than the Lower East Side and the East Village."[11]

McInnes left the publication in 2008, citing "creative differences" as the primary issue. In an email communication dated 23 January, McInnes explained: "I no longer have anything to do with Vice or VBS or DOs & DON'Ts or any of that. It's a long story but we've all agreed to leave it at 'creative differences,' so please don't ask me about it."[19]

At the commencement of 2012, an article in Forbes magazine referred to the Vice company as "Vice Media", but the precise time when this title development occurred is not public knowledge.[20] Vice acquired the fashion magazine i-D in December 2012 and, by February 2013, Vice produced 24 global editions of the magazine, with a global circulation of 1,147,000 (100,000 in the UK). By this stage, Alex Miller had replaced Capper as the editor-in-chief of the UK edition. Furthermore, Vice consisted of 800 worldwide employees, including 100 in London, and around 3,500 freelancers also produced content for the company.[18]

In February 2015, Vice Media named Ellis Jones editor-in-chief of Vice magazine and former UK editor-in-chief, Alex Miller, was appointed to the position of global head of content.[21]

In 2018, the magazine switched to a quarterly publication schedule, though issues still generally explored a single theme.[22] The publication was put on hiatus in 2019.[9]

In 2023, Vice filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The company's lenders—Fortress Investment Group, Soros Fund Management and Monroe Capital—agreed to purchase the company for $225 million.[23] In February 2024, The New York Times highlighted that "over the past half-decade, Vice has had near annual layoffs and mounting losses, and has filed for bankruptcy, making it the poster child for the battered digital-media industry" and that while "some observers hoped its new owners [...] would reinvest" in the company, Fortress Investment Group has instead "decided to make sweeping cuts".[8]

In September 2024, Vice Media relaunched its print magazine and will publish issues quarterly. The company has a goal of reaching 20,000 subscribers within a year.[9]

Content

[edit]

Scope

[edit]

Vice magazine includes the work of journalists, columnists, fiction writers, graphic artists and cartoonists, and photographers. Both Vice's online and magazine content has shifted from dealing mostly with independent arts and pop cultural matters to covering more serious news topics. Due to the large array of contributors and the fact that often writers will only submit a small number of articles with the publication, Vice's content varies dramatically and its political and cultural stance is often unclear or contradictory. Articles on the site feature a range of subjects, often things not covered as by mainstream media. The magazine's editors have championed the immersionist school of journalism, which has been passed to other properties of Vice Media such as the documentary television show Balls Deep on the Viceland Channel. This style of journalism is regarded as something of a DIY antithesis to the methods practiced by mainstream news outlets, and has published an entire issue of articles written in accordance with this ethos. Entire issues of the magazine have also been dedicated to the concerns of Iraqi people,[27] Native Americans,[28] Russian people,[29] people with mental disorders,[30] and people with mental disabilities.[31] Vice also publishes an annual guide for students in the United Kingdom.[32]

In 2007, a Vice announcement was published on the Internet:

After umpteen years of putting out what amounted to a reference book every month, we started to get bored with it. Besides, too many other magazines have ripped it and started doing their own lame take on themes. So we're going to do some issues, starting now, that have whatever we feel like putting in them.[33]

Politics

[edit]

In a March 2008 interview with The Guardian, Smith was asked about the magazine's political allegiances and he stated, "We're not trying to say anything politically in a paradigmatic left/right way… We don't do that because we don't believe in either side. Are my politics Democrat or Republican? I think both are horrific. And it doesn't matter anyway. Money runs America; money runs everywhere."[15]

Vice founded its website as Viceland.com in 1996, as Vice.com was already owned. In 2007, it started VBS.tv as a domain, which prioritized videos over print, and had a number of shows for free such as The Vice Guide to Travel. In 2011, Viceland.com and VBS.tv were combined into Vice.com,[34] also the host of the Vice Motherboard website at motherboard.vice.com.[35]

In 2012, Vice Media was created as the parent company for Vice magazine and other properties including Vice News on HBO and the Vice.com website.[36] The company has since expanded and diversified to include a network of online channels, including Munchies.tv, Motherboard.tv, Noisey.com, Thu.mp, and Broadly.[37]

On 22 February 2024, Vice Media CEO Bruce Dixon announced "several hundred" additional layoffs as the company restructures,[6] and that the website Vice.com would no longer publish content.[6][7]

Book

[edit]
  • In 2007, Vice published The Vice Photo Book (ISBN 1576874109),[38][39] with a collection of photos of Jaimie Warren, Jerry Hsu, Michael Rababy and Patrick O’Dell. The book is divided in five parts: "Vice Photographers", "Vice's Photojournalism", "Vice Fashion", and the final two sections are a collage of previously published VICE photos. The book also contains interviews with some of the photographers.

Reputation

[edit]

From its beginnings as Voice of Montreal, Vice had a "reputation for provocation".[40] In 2010, Vice was described as "gonzo journalism for the YouTube generation".[41] As the magazine grew into a broader media brand, it struggled with "how to distance itself from its crude past, yet hold on to enough of that reputation to cement, and grow, its authority with its core audience".[42] Nevertheless, the magazine has continued to face controversy. In 2013, the magazine retracted parts of a fashion spread entitled 'Last Words' which depicted "female writers killing themselves".[43][42] Also in 2013, Vice again gained unwelcome attention when the then-editor of the magazine joined millionaire software mogul John McAfee as he evaded authorities to avoid being questioned about a murder case.[40]

Sexual harassment at parent company

[edit]
Main article: Vice Media § Sexual harassment

In the late 2017, multiple stories were published citing allegations of sexual misconduct and a general "boys club" culture at Vice magazine's parent company, Vice Media.[44][45][4]
