Amid rumors of Vice Media facing potential shutdown, employees express concerns over the deletion of the website and impending layoffs. Vice's new owners plan significant job cuts, with hundreds of layoffs expected in the coming week. Staff advised to save their work as uncertainty looms.
There are rumors that all of Vice might shut down imminently. The Messenger is already gone. So, is almost every other digital news company. They took in and spent billions. We took a fraction of that (we raised about 1% of what Vice did) and @TheYoungTurks is still standing.

Twitter says VICE may be deleting their website today? (Are the economics of keeping old content up really THAT bad?) I was so excited when I first got approved as a freelancer there. I was in college and it felt like VICE was at its peak of cultural power.
seems like VICE News is going to die today https://t.co/iwRnkIHSG6
If you have ever written for VICE Media and have clips you want to save, I highly recommend PDFing and Internet Archiving those bad boys right now. (FYI: Saving to PDF cuts off the top line on each page because well because of course it does.) https://t.co/rmvgcZynmG
