Originating from the Montreal-based Vice magazine co-founded by Suroosh Alvi, Shane Smith, and Gavin McInnes (who left the company in 2008), Vice expanded primarily into youth and young adult–focused digital media, including online content verticals and related web series, the news division Vice News, a film production studio, and a record label among other properties.
In 2015 Vice Media was called “[arguably] a poster child for new-media success—especially when it comes to attracting a valuable millennial audience.” I just like the article and videos. Great perspective on global issues.
