Vice magazine offers alternative news says editor

By Rachael

Andy Capper, editor of controversial free monthly magazine, Vice, told The Independent that his magazine is a vehicle for news that other publications don’t want to cover.

He said: “This is essentially a news magazine. But we cover issues that would otherwise fall under the radar. We present news stories in a way that hooks our audience into subjects they wouldn’t otherwise look into.”

Previous articles the magazine has published include “Muslim Porn” and “Skinheads Against White People” and in an Iraq issue the magazine spent five years following a Baghdad-based heavy metal band.
