A New Kind of News

Shane Smith in Fallujah                                                                            Vice

Vice started 20 years ago as a magazine in Montreal. It's now a multimedia company and not resting on its laurels. This week, Vice is launching a news arm. Like the magazine, this is being described as being for a new generation. "Young people, who are the majority of our audience, are angry, disenfranchised, and they don't like or trust mainstream media outlets," says co-founder and CEO Shane Smith: http://www.theguardian.com/media/2014/mar/02/vice-media-shane-smith-north-korea
   On CBS This Morning on March 4, Smith was asked ~ among other things ~ about Ukraine. "When I go to Russia," he said, "I'm always shocked ~ and I go there quite a bit ~ by the anti-American, anti-Western rhetoric that is almost Cold War level. I mean, it is shocking how they're really demonizing the West and demonizing America."
