Vice Media Group filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy early Monday morning, marking the end of a long, strenuous effort to sell itself after its business stopped growing.Why it matters: It represents a significant fall from grace from what was once one of the most highly-valued media startups in the internet era.At its peak six years ago, Vice was valued at $5.7 billion. In the past year, Vice struggled to find bidders willing to pay nine figures.At one point, the company considered selling itself in parts. The firm owns a slew of assets, such as Refinery29, a female-focused digital brand that it acquired for $400 million in 2019; Virtue, an in-house marketing agency; I-D, a fashion and culture platform; Vice Studios, its video production arm, and more.
Laboratorio de periodismo es una iniciativa de la Fundación Luca de Tena que nace para tratar de cubrir las necesidades de los periodistas derivadas de la transformación del sector, el cambio disruptivo del negocio de la información y la demanda de nuevos perfiles profesionales en entornos en los que dicha formación no está, en la mayoría de los casos, al alcance de los nuevos profesionales.
