Vice Media to shutter several shows, lay off staff

Months after shuttering its flagship show “Vice News Tonight,” the media company has announced the closure of several shows.

This will be followed by dozens of staff layoffs.

Co-chief executives, Bruce Dixon and Hozefa Lokhandwala said:

“Vice will continue to produce digital news, as well as Vice News documentaries, both series and films, for FAST Channels, streaming services and other partners.”

They further said that they will take this point to “restructure our overall corporate organization.”

Upon this, the Vice Union posted on X/Twitter:

“We can no longer express shock and surprise that VICE has determined its only way forward is to lay people off.

“As has been the case in previous layoffs, VICE has once again decided to let go of the very same people who have worked tirelessly over the years to turn it into a respected, award-winning media company. Entire teams were gutted, and scores of people lost their jobs today.”
