VMG Internship Program – Summer 2022 (Hybrid)

Job Location: NY & LA

VICE Media Group (VMG) prioritizes the voices, ideas and people that other media companies miss. Within VMG, we like to consider ourselves a collective of brands and companies built with a purpose making roughly 2000 pieces of content each day with a focus on eight key businesses: VICE.com, VICE News, VICE Studios, ViceTV, VIRTUE, Pulse Films, i-D and Refinery29. Within this gamut of media channels we aim to enlighten, entertain, and empower our audience by showing a world they don’t know, telling stories no one else can, and championing voices no one else will.
