Vice Media will stop publishing content on its website and cut “several hundred positions” as part of “fundamental changes” to its “strategic vision,” the company’s CEO said in a memo to staff on Thursday.

“This decision was not made lightly, and I understand the significant impact it will have on those affected,” Vice CEO Bruce Dixon expressed in a memo shared by Washington Post reporter Will Sommer on X.
