Well, at VICE, as you might have noticed, we spend a lot of time and money flying round the world, setting up offices and bringing back stories from places that we think are important and believe you will be interested to learn about – whether it’s stories about child labour in Bolivia, drug abuse in Greece, outright civil war in South Sudan, or life as a young gay person in Russia. And we don’t do it purely from a sense of duty (we’re VICE, not the BBC); we do it because people seem to care. Four million people subscribe to our YouTube channel, which means that whenever we put an international documentary on that, we’re reaching a similar number of people to many flagship terrestrial news shows.
