Word on the street is they're deleting the @vice website.
This means that as of later this week, all three publications where I accrued thousands of bylines since the very start of my career will no longer have an online presence.

Yes, I've saved the majority of my stories from @VICENews, @QueensTrib and @TheMessenger, but their non-existence on the internet will irrevocably damage my online presence as a reporter.

How does one not feel like they've wasted their entire adult life pursuing journalism?
This is all I've ever wanted to do. And despite earning opportunity after opportunity because I was damn good at it, I've been reminded at every turn just how much this business hates me.

This is curtains for me I’m afraid, after nine years.
Feeling all over the place emotionally, & more to come tomorrow, but one thing I will say is that vice, to me, has always been about the work & the people who made the work. Not the dickheads who drove it into the ground. https://t.co/R56pOyyxri
