Get Featured in Vice – Guaranteed Publication by United Press
Vice after the collapse: what actually gets commissioned, and where a British story fits
Vice started in Montreal in October 1994 as Voice of Montreal, a free punk magazine, before Suroosh Alvi, Gavin McInnes and Shane Smith took it over, renamed it and moved it to New York. It became a global youth media company, then it fell apart. Vice Media filed for Chapter 11 in May 2023, and in February 2024 vice.com stopped publishing while several hundred staff lost their jobs. It came back in a smaller shape. The print magazine returned quarterly in September 2024, and the website was relaunched through a joint venture with Savage Ventures, carrying Pulse, Life, Tech, Munchies, Music and Waypoint. The voice survived the bankruptcy. The sprawling international newsroom did not.
The newsroom is smaller now
The Vice a British founder remembers from 2016 had bureaux everywhere and a large, loud London operation. What exists today is far leaner. Fewer editors, less capacity to develop a rough idea with you, and no assumption that a UK team will pick something up. Pitch fully formed, or do not pitch.
It covers people, not companies
Vice writes about scenes, subcultures and individuals doing strange or difficult things. The pitch a founder instinctively writes, about a company, a round and a product, has almost nowhere to sit. If there is no human at the centre of your story who a reader would want to spend a thousand words with, this is not the outlet.
British subculture travels
Rave and club culture, football fandom, estate life, pirate radio, drill, the specific texture of British nightlife: American readers find all of it genuinely interesting and legible. What does not travel is a British institution. A trade body's annual report, a chart position or a Westminster row means nothing to this desk.
Offer access, not an interview
The classic Vice piece is a writer going somewhere and describing it. If you can put a journalist inside a place, a night, a process or a community that is otherwise closed, that is a strong offer. A scheduled call with a spokesperson is not access, and framing it as such tells an editor you have misread the publication.
Adjacency cuts both ways
Vice publishes about drugs, sex and the darker edges of the internet, and always has. That is the proposition, not an accident. If your board would be alarmed by the article sitting next to yours, choose a different outlet now rather than negotiating over placement later. No editor will rearrange a site around a brand's comfort.
American clock, American pegs
The desk works US hours and an American news cycle. A British diary peg carries no weight: a Budget, a bank holiday, exam results day, a royal event. What works is a cultural moment Americans have already half noticed and want explaining. Send in the UK afternoon so your email lands in the New York morning.
What the rebuilt Vice publishes
The current site is narrower than the old one, and knowing the live verticals prevents pitching to something that closed years ago. These are the working sections:
- Reported features on subcultures, scenes and the people inside them, usually first person and usually built on the writer being physically present
- Technology and privacy reporting in the Motherboard tradition, covering surveillance, hacking, platform failures and the harms that follow
- Music writing in the Noisey tradition, weighted heavily towards emerging artists, regional scenes and whole genres rather than release-schedule announcements from labels
- Food coverage through Munchies, which reads as appetite, class and culture rather than restaurant criticism, chef profiles or opening announcements
- Games coverage through Waypoint, far more interested in what a game means and who plays it than in scoring it
- The quarterly print magazine, commissioned separately, edited to its own standards and running on a far slower cycle than anything published on the website
Why brand pitches to Vice go nowhere
Vice rejects commercial approaches at a higher rate than almost any title a UK founder will consider. That is structural, not personal, and it is worth understanding before spending time here.
- A product launch. There is no business desk waiting for your announcement. A launch with no cultural story wrapped around it has no section to live in.
- Press release English. Corporate register is fatal here. The house voice is conversational, sceptical and frequently profane, and anything written in marketing prose is discarded.
- Audience without risk. Asking for Vice's readers while demanding control over tone and adjacency is a request no editor is able to grant.
- Nothing to get inside. Vice reporting depends on being somewhere. An offer of a scheduled call with a founder gives a writer nowhere to go.
- Referencing a Vice that closed. Naming verticals shut down years ago tells the editor you have not opened the site since the bankruptcy.

Vice questions we field from UK clients
Is Vice still publishing?
Yes. Vice.com stopped publishing in February 2024 during the post-bankruptcy restructuring, but the site was relaunched through a joint venture with Savage Ventures and the print magazine returned quarterly in September 2024. The operation is considerably smaller than at its peak, so treat capacity, not enthusiasm, as the limiting factor on any pitch.
Is there still a Vice UK edition to approach?
Vice ran a substantial British operation from 2002 onwards, but the international footprint contracted sharply through the bankruptcy and the 2024 restructuring. Assume you are pitching an American newsroom that may occasionally commission from Britain, rather than a London team with its own commissioning budget. Write the pitch for a US reader accordingly.
Can a UK brand appear in the print magazine?
The quarterly print edition commissions on a much longer lead than the website, which cuts both ways. There is more room for a properly developed idea, and far less room for anything tied to a launch date. If print is the target, approach months rather than weeks ahead, and expect the concept to be reshaped substantially.
Is Vice News the same thing as vice.com?
They are best treated as separate. Vice News was not part of the digital joint venture that relaunched the website, and the two operations have different remits and different editorial processes. A pitch aimed at hard news should not be sent to the culture side of the site, and the reverse is equally true.
What kind of British story has the best chance here?
One with a person, a place and a tension. A community doing something an American audience has never seen, a scene forming around an unlikely venue, a practice that reveals something about class or drugs or the internet. If your story could be summarised in a trade publication without loss, it is not right for Vice.
