Vice to launch business news site on Sunday

Vice Media is set to debut its finance and business news and video website, Vice Money, this weekend, reports Todd Spangler of Variety.

Spangler writes, “The Vice Money channel will go live Sunday, Oct. 9, at news.vice.com/money coinciding with the premiere of the daily ‘Vice News Tonight’ show on HBO and the Vice News site relaunch. Vice Money is part of the Vice News network.

“The channel is headed by editor-in-chief Matt Phillips, most recently at Quartz where he was finance and markets editor. Prior to joining Quartz in 2012, he spent seven years as a reporter at the Wall Street Journal on the money and investing team where he his coverage included detailing the aftermath of the 2008 housing crisis.

“Vice Money will apply the same ‘youth-splaining’ lens to financial and biz news and trends, a hallmark of the Vice editorial approach. Phillips said it will fill a gap to bring useful information to a younger audience, focusing on issues like the disappearance from the U.S. workforce of millions of men.

“‘It just seems like there’s a real chance to do something new,’ Phillips said. ‘We’re trying to bring business news to generations of readers and viewers who are intensely interested in the role that business and finance play in the world.'”
