Patriarchy strikes at the most left leaning major news outlet currently in existence.
http://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/vice-apologizes-ny-times-report-1.4463888Vice Media is apologizing for its "detrimental" workplace culture after a scathing investigation by the New York Times revealed pervasive allegations of sexual harassment.
"We have failed as a company to create a safe and inclusive workplace where everyone, especially women, can feel respected and thrive," said a statement released Saturday from Canadian Vice founders Shane Smith and Suroosh Alvi.
The Times reported Saturday that it found four legal settlements involving allegations of sexual harassment or defamation against Vice employees.
In addition, the investigation found that more than two dozen other women "had experienced or witnessed sexual misconduct at the company."
Vice has built a reputation for being cutting-edge in its approach to news coverage and journalism in an effort to appeal to a millennial audience. Much of its staff, including those in management positions, are considered younger than what might be found in traditional news organizations.
