Vice Germany will be closing at the end of March after 18 years. Between 40 and 50 employees were affected, editor-in-chief Tim Geyer said.
Vice stands for topics related to pop culture, lifestyle, society, but also tech and subculture. The brand was founded in Canada in the 1990s and is based in the USA. The group, which has branches in many countries, had had business problems in the past, including the search for new investors, bankruptcy and tough cuts.
