Formation

[edit]

VBS began as a deal betweenViacom-ownedMTV Networks and Logo Group. In March 2007, the network was formed; MTV funded the formation of the network, and Vice magazine would supply the content. MTV has the right to distribute VBS content across its worldwide network of channels.[2] According toVice co-founderSuroosh Alvi, "traditional journalism always aspires to objectivity, and since day one with the magazine we never believed in that...Our ethos is subjectivity with real substantiation. I don't think you see that onCNN."[3]

Circulation

[edit]

VBS videos are available via the network's website, as well as being broadcast onMTV Latin America[2] andMTV2.[4] VBS is currently featured as a weekly show on MTV2.[5] VBS.tv content has appeared on CNN as part of their CNN presents line-up, with CNN stating that "... We believe this unique reporting approach is worthy of sharing with our CNN.com readers."[6] Much of it is now available at VICE.com.[citation needed]

Content

[edit]

The network's videos feature reporting on popular culture, travel, extreme sports, and music.[7] The site has also produced special-interest and current affairs-based shows such as an interview withHezbollah's self-proclaimed mayor ofBeirut and a show that explored allegations of environmental abuse. It has also approached drug issues, producing a documentary about the criminal use of the drugscopolamine in Colombia,[2] a report on cocaine smuggling submarines[8] and a documentary on hallucinogenic frogs in theAmazon rainforest.[9][10] Other coverage includes a series of short documentaries aboutDarfur,Hurricane Katrina,[3]Liberia,North Korea and suicide in Japan'sAokigahara Forest.[11] The network also producedHeavy Metal in Baghdad, a feature-length documentary film aboutAcrassicauda.
