Vice Magazine & MTV Team for Investigative Series

NEW YORK: The Vice Guide to Everything is a new investigative series for MTV that features Vice correspondents investigating dangerous, extraordinary and bizarre stories around the world.

The show will feature Vice founder Shane Smith and reporters Ryan Duffy and Thomas Morton, with guest appearances by Spike Jonze, among others. The team of journalists will travel across the globe to look into absurd and shocking stories. Vice‘s Joseph Patel is the series supervising producer. The series was developed by Liz Gateley, the senior VP of series development for MTV and Shannon Fitzgerald and George McTeague serve as executive producers for MTV.

The Vice Guide to Everything is to premiere on MTV on December 6 at 11 p.m.

"Vice has always uncovered the most distinctive and provocative news stories in all genres," said Shannon Fitzgerald, MTV’s VP and head of East Coast development. "Through the creative filter of the Vice brand, this series will take viewers on an exhilarating journey, revealing unique slivers of life from all corners of the world—bringing young people news that mainstream media often ignores."

"When Vice magazine first started, all we cared about was sex, drugs and rock’n roll. But as we started traveling around the world, we got more into politics, culture, fashion, art, and the environment—basically everything. And this is that—The Vice Guide To Everything," commented Smith. "It’s a series about the absurdity of the modern condition: the most interesting people, news, sub-cultures and rituals on the planet. It’s the stuff you don’t get from the mainstream media—that you absolutely need to know – and you won’t stop talking about it."
