iHeartMedia announced at the VICE Media Group NewFront presentation "VICE News Reports," a new weekly investigative series covering critical news subjects from around the world. It will be co-produced by iHeartRadio and VICE News. As part of the new partnership, iHM will have a first-look option to co-produce additional podcasts based on VICE Media Group content. "VICE News Reports" will debut this fall on iHeartRadio.

The year-round weekly series will feature in-depth, on-the-ground reportage, tapping into VICE's global network of diverse journalists, offering rare access audio that brings the listener directly into the story. With an immersive, verite, in the field approach, the half-hour episodes will provide reporting on the biggest news stories in the world and delve into underreported events beyond the 24-hour news cycle.

The series will include a mix of long and short form reports, feature stories, multiple episode series and more, all told in the signature VICE News style. Topics to be covered include reporting from the frontlines of global conflicts and civil uprisings; a deep dive into the rise of the alt-right in the states and abroad; and a multi-part investigation into the debate about arming teachers in America's schools.

"At VICE News we provide a comprehensive look at complex news issues by reporting where others do not, and amplifying voices that are going unheard," said VICE Media Group Global News and Entertainment President Jesse Angelo. "Audio allows us to go further; the medium lets us dive into the nuance and involve the audience in intimate ways that cannot be achieved with video. We are excited to explore this even more with ‘VICE News Reports' and iHeartRadio."

"With today's busy schedules, listeners are always looking for engaging content, especially on global critical topics of interest," added iHeartPodcast Network President Conal Byrne. "We are excited to launch this new investigative series with VICE, keeping listeners up-to-date on the latest current events, while also uncovering untold truths in today's tumultuous climate."

In 2019, VICE expanded its audio operation under the leadership of Kate Osborn, longtime audio veteran and former producer for NPR, BBC, and Rachel Maddow. Replicating its unconventional approach to video storytelling with audio, VICE has produced audio series such as "Chapo: Kingpin on Trial," "Uncommitted: Iowa 2020" and "The Distance: Coronavirus Dispatches."
