Are viewers sick of the 24/7 cacophony of TV news? Vice News Tonight is betting on it.
Before cable news devolved into shouting matches between pundits, it was built on the trusted voices of anchors. Viewers welcomed the Gwen Ifills and the Walter Cronkites of the world into their homes to guide them through the day’s most important events and keep them informed. Vice News Tonight–a daily 30-minute news show on HBO that is celebrating its one-year anniversary today–is remixing that model for the modern era. But instead of one personality, the show uses a distinctive design language and identity to anchor its reporting.
