- I_HALF_CATS 10y agoAUTHOR NOTE: I discovered news.Y from traffic statistics to an earlier version of this article. The article remains a "work in progress" but has been significantly updated. http://vicemediakit.com http://vicemediakit.com redirects to https://medium.com/thoughts-on-media/vice-media-kit-warning-for-advertisers-25ad0600f61d https://medium.com/thoughts-on-media/vice-media-kit-warning-... If self-posting is banned I'll delete this. Otherwise I'll try to answer any questions. SUMMARY: Print circulation numbers multiplied by 10, traffic multiplied by 4-10 times and dodgy hiring practices. All these corporate shenanigans, to me, add up to the largest house of cards in the media world. ABOUT ME: After getting my M.Arch I realized I was in a unique position to write a book on Vice Media. I wrote it because I believe click-fraud and anti-competitive practices are drowning out the honest players in the media world.
