Synopsis

VICE magazine started out as a reaction against the humourless, self-righteous posers of the end of the 90s. Originally a black and white fanzine, the magazine is published in 30 countries across the globe, and has grown into an international multimedia empire. A conglomerate of writers, photographers, artists and filmmakers, they report first-hand on war, terrorism, the environment and how everything is going to hell with as much relish as they do sex, drugs and rock 'n'roll - all served up with a large dose of humour. It's time to find out for yourself. Welcome to the world of VICE. You'll like it.

Media Reviews
VICE may have cornered the market on cool in print. * * Wired * *
VICE has built a small empire out of a raw, ironic sensibility, risque photographs, and a willingness to deal in taboo subjects. * * New York Times * *
Magazines can be very dull and shallow, VICE seems to have turned that on its head somehow. -- Dame Vivienne Westwood
Most magazines are driven by a desire to make money by putting celebrities in them. But VICE looks like it'shere because it wants to be. -- Ian Hislop
Make way for the new honesty. * * Observer * *
A work of genius. * * Arena * *
VICE reads like Eminem, only angrier. * * Independent on Sunday * *
Reaffirms that you're not alone in this warped world after all. * * Maxim * *
It's almost impossible to flick through the Dos and Don's without sniggering... at the withering captions which accompany the shots of street fashion gone right or in most cases wrong * * Cooler * *
Author Bio
VICE Magazine was founded in Montreal in 1994 and has grown into one of the biggest brands in magazine publishing, with offices in twenty-four cities worldwide. Its unique blend of irreverence, sardonic humour, investigative journalism and photography has carved its own niche in the cultural landscape. More recently it has been a digital pioneer, with the Viceland website and the hugely influential VBS TV which has produced documentaries on Liberia, North Korea, the dance music phenomenon 'donk', HEAVY METAL IN BAGHDAD and most recently SWANSEA LOVE SONG. And if that was not enough, there is also Vice Records.
