Vice Media

Edgy news company

Vice Media is a digital media and broadcasting company known for immersive, often edgy journalism and documentary content aimed at younger audiences.

Founded as a punk magazine in Montreal, it expanded into video, news, and entertainment covering counterculture, conflict zones, and underreported stories: Vice sent reporters into ISIS territory.

The brand became synonymous with a particular style of gonzo journalism before financial troubles led to bankruptcy in 2023.
