Vice News
Vice News (stylized as VICE News) was Vice Media's alternative current affairs channel, producing daily documentary essays and video through its website and YouTube channel. It promoted itself on its coverage of "under-reported stories". Vice News was created in December 2013 and was based in New York City, though it had bureaus worldwide.
The channel originally launched to mixed reception in 2013. In the following decade, Vice News won a number of awards for its reporting, including four Peabody Awards and the inaugural Pulitzer Prize for Audio Reporting.
In May 2023, Vice Media filed for bankruptcy and Vice News fired most of its employees. The YouTube channel of Vice News was taken over by Vice co-founder Shane Smith and began uploading podcasts held by Smith, featuring right-leaning guests. Previously, Vice had been described as progressive and left-leaning.
Before Vice News was founded, Vice published news documentaries and news reports from around the world through its YouTube channel alongside other programs. Vice had reported on events such as crime in Venezuela, the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, protests in Turkey, the North Korean and Iranian regimes, and the Syrian Civil War through their own YouTube channel and website. After the creation of Vice News as a separate division, its reporting increased with worldwide coverage starting immediately with videos published on YouTube and articles on its website daily.
In December 2013, Vice Media expanded its international news division into an independent division dedicated exclusively to news and created Vice News. Vice Media put $50 million into its news division, setting up 34 bureaus worldwide and drawing praise for its in-depth coverage of international news. Vice News has primarily targeted a younger audience composed predominantly of millennials, the same audience to which its parent company appeals.
In November 2014, Vice News launched its French-language version.
In October 2015, Vice hired Josh Tyrangiel to run a daily Vice News show for HBO. Tyrangiel had recently left Bloomberg Businessweek, where he was reported to be "a divisive figure who was both admired and despised during his six years there." Tyrangiel named Ryan McCarthy, formerly an assistant editor of The New York Times, as editor-in-chief of Vice News.
In May 2016, it was announced that Tyrangiel had been promoted to oversee all of Vice News. As the announcement was made, Tyrangiel promptly laid off some 20 editorial and production staff members. In an interview given the previous week, Vice Media founder Shane Smith called Tyrangiel "a murderer," foretelling a "bloodbath" in digital media. That June, Tyrangiel touted various new hires he had brought aboard as part of his team.
