Vice is one of my all time favorite publications; I subscribe to both their email news updates, but to their YouTube channel.
My favorite thing about Vice Mag is the freshness; there is always an interesting, new, up-to-date, accurate report. From sports to global politics, to fashion, Vice has it covered.
My first Vice video was about Fashion Week in Columbia; Vice does their own fashion week, but instead of focusing purely on the US, France, and Italy, they focus internationally, in places like Columbia, Tel Aviv, and Niger. In the Columbian video, they not only focus on the fashion, but the politics behind it.
For example, many people believe the stereotype that all people from Columbia and Latin America have nice curves and big booties. this isn't the case for 100% of the people, so by age 15, most girls in Columbia have had plastic surgery, either breast augmentations or butt implants.
Vice brings to light either delicate, or unknown topics, like the Cannibal Warlords of Liberia or the Kingdom of the Little People, an amusement park based entirely around little people. They highlight not only anything cool, interesting, funny or cute, but things that are graphic, hard to watch, and touching.
They also discus things people don't normally discus, thing's that wouldn't be considered polite dinner conversation. Using the tag NSFW (Not Safe For Work), they can publish articles which discuss XXX rated topics.
Vice makes sure to examine all aspects of their report; social, phycological, economic, everything.
They examine all angles, and shine light onto the deeper meaning behind issues.
For example, in Kingdom of the Little People, the reporter goes to the amusement park which is basically self-sufficiently run by little people from all over Asia. Many people don't think the park is appropriate and that it is a mockery of the little people, however, upon interviewing them, all the little people said that they love it in the Kingdom and that it is the only place they feel welcome.
Getting a deeper insider view into issues or places people may not be aware of is a great way to really show people the world we're living in.
