Vice is doing some of the most exciting and original news reporting there is right now.
Yes, that Vice, the one that made a name for itself with its acerbic Dos and Don’ts section and the like.
Its Russian Roulette series, for example, is exactly what great journalism is all about: it’s insightful, fearless and gets right in the thick of it.
And Vice is proving that free online content – whether it be about global affairs, music, technology, sport or many of the other things it covers – can be lucrative.
Royce Akers is Vice’s Australia editor.
We’ll be liveblogging his Q+A with RMIT’s Online Journalism students here from 10.30am this Friday (Melbourne time).
