The rise and fall of Vice Media – podcast | News




Last month, Vice Media Group announced it would no longer be publishing on its website. The company, which filed for bankruptcy last year, is also laying off hundreds of its employees.

Vice was once considered one of the biggest media organisations in the world, attracting support from wealthy investors and a dedicated millennial audience. So what went so wrong?

Guardian journalists Sam Wolfson and Sirin Kale tell Hannah Moore about their time working as journalists at Vice, how the company built a digital media empire and the bad investments that took the company down.
