What a strange and wonderful beast Vice was.
The very idea of calling a middle class millenial hipster a journalist and sending them off to a war torn country so they could do drugs with a cartel and report back on the underground scene there is pure 2010s.
And when it happened across real journalism, it took it in its stride. This was the competition to main stream media. It was aware and smart.
It was also shockingly platform literate. The video content was just as vital as the written stuff.
The fact it didn't endure is pretty sad. It's fairly indicative of where we are going.
I saw this article the same day that I saw Google announce the removal of the news tab from its search results.
Not good times.
That’s too bad. Use it when other engines[‘ news searches] fail.
When an outfit starts to real journalism, shit gets ugly and the pressure for assholes at the top to sell out intensifies greatly. The journalism industry is totally fucked up mostly because corporations have corrupted the shit out of it for profit.
