VICE DISMISSES EDITORIAL TEAM IN BRAZIL

Company undergoes global restructuring and will work through freelancers

Vice, one of the main journalism brands aimed at young people, decided to reduce activities in Brazil, dismissing the entire editorial team. Now, the content will be done through specific hires, without a fixed team, or by Vice professionals in other countries that will come to Brazil, in addition to the translation of content from other countries.

The country is not the only one where the brand is reducing its activities. A global restructuring will make the company only in four countries: the United States, the United Kingdom, Mexico and a country in Asia.

The company has 30 offices in 26 countries.

(Update: The column had confirmed the information on the end of Vice in Brazil with professionals dismissed today. According to Fernanda de Lamare, director of the company, Vice will remain in Brazil, but without hired journalists. The text was rewritten for clarity.)

OOOHH NO NO NO

at this rate we're gonna need a "Journalists getting shitcanned" megathread

Vice will remain in Brazil, but without hired journalists

... what is the fucking point in that exactly? That's like going to a Zoo without any animals, and then when the people find some, they only use them once and then release them back into the wild till next time.

 

[Kosher Dill]

The bigger surprise here is that they had "hired journalists" in the first place. I thought most of these clickbait mills were mostly freelancers anyway.

 

[Monika H.]

As if Vice ever had any actual "journalist"

 

[AnOminous]

I guess there's not enough call in Brazil for articles about how you rammed something in Brazil up your ass as part of a drug deal gone wrong and how this proves Trump is Satan.

 

[Jewelsmakerguy]

Vice will remain in Brazil, but without hired journalists.

But why? That feels counter productive if they're closing down branches.

 

[Socrates]

But why? That feels counter productive if they're closing down branches.

It's like when you take antivirals for HIV. You aren't infectious anymore but you're still POZZ'D

 

[FlappyBat]

But why? That feels counter productive if they're closing down branches.

They could be using only freelance writers and have staff for everything else.

I'm just disgusted that all these laid off journalists are unemployable so they will end up getting a job at Mcdonalds.
If I am going to eat mcdonalds I want my disgusting bigmac to not be touched by a journalist.

I would rather eat something coofed on immediately beforehand by someone straight from Wuhan than risk contracting journalism from an ex-Buzzfeed writer too far gone to learn to code.

 

[Coccxys]

I'm always amused at the hypocrisy of these companies cutting permanent staff for freelancers who have zero job security and no benefits such as paid vacation or health insurance to cut costs but then screech about muh poor workers, universal healthcare etc.

 

[wtfNeedSignUp]

Is there a point to having a Brazilian team or is it just a justification for higher ups to come there and almost assuredly fuck minors?

 

[#zzz]

I'm more shocked they had an office and editorial team.

 

[Ashen One]

I'm more shocked they had an office and editorial team.

I'm more shocked to hear there is/was a VICE Brazil in the first place to be quite honest. I didn't know it existed.

Sad to hear the news. Now who will bring us huehues important news such as:

Men who enjoy cuckoldry explain their fetish. "'I want my wife to have sex with other guys, but it breaks her heart.'"
You won't be returning to normal office life for a long, long time.
VIDEO: The first LGBT Parade in Baile da Gaiola was a dream. "An historical mark of what Brazil could have been."
"The documentary is a political weapon." says Karim Aïnouz. "On an exclusive interview to VICE Brazil, the director talks about his new documentary 'Central Airport', which tells the stories of refugees being housed on airport hangars. But the director doesn't like the term 'refugees'. He prefers 'asylum requesters'."

I guess there's not enough call in Brazil for articles about how you rammed something in Brazil up your ass as part of a drug deal gone wrong and how this proves Trump is Satan.

Brazilian media is a wee bit busy now with out president blatantly trying to replace the General Director of the Federal Police because they were investigating one of his sons. The only mention of Trump I found was talking about those mercenaries in Venezuela who claim to have been Trump's security.

 

[Wraith]

/v/: Hue, hue, hue, hue, hue, hue...

 

[REGENDarySumanai]

They should learn to code instead!

 

[RA-5C Vigilante]

It really sucks how bad Vice has gotten. I remember being blown away by their reporting in the Congo and Mali on the conflicts happening there. Then all of a sudden it became sextoys and worthless filler. The worst that sticks out to me is when Macklemore or whoever the fuck was caught dressed and make-upped like a J.ew and one of their intrepid reporters decided to call the KKK, the American Nazi Party, and other fringe far-right groups to hear their reaction. The line I remember was one of the guys he called went into this talk about the difference in looks of Ashkenazi and other Jews and our brave intrepid reporter said "Oh this is too weird for me" and hung up on him. So remember: writing about butt plugs and other nightmarish sex stuff, drug abuse, wars, and more is fine, but a Neo-Nazi discussing types of Jews Macklemore dressed up like is a Bridge too Far.

The next dismissal I want from Vice is the entire company.

You're forgetting these are journalists.... the majority of them are hipster faggots, so they would probably work at Bareburger before even considering McDonalds

Or you could get lucky, they might just skip fast food and head straight to Starbucks.
