The World According to Vice

Vice

Since it was founded in Montreal in 1994, VICE magazine has brought its uniquely irreverent and informative brand of journalism to a worldwide audience with offices all over the world and the highly successful Vice Land and VBS.TV websites. This book is a stake in the ground, a marker of where VICE has been, where it is and where it might be going, welcoming back its fans and a whole new slew of readers. What started as a filthy newsprint punk zine has blossomed into a multimedia empire with the highest quality dispatches from the cultural frontline: irreverent commentary, photo-journalism, interviews, commissioned literature, blogs and photography. Forget what you thought you knew about it and immerse yourself in the world of VICE. It might not be easy to swallow and it might not be pretty, but it’s never less than real, and always essential.

Reviews of The World According to Vice

'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

Vice

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.
