Agree with Candace - they have some prurient interests (but then, Sudo has hosted Bike Smut. Pot, meet kettle ;-) but they also do quality, in-depth reporting on "sub-culture" topics like hackers.

Even when they're being sensationalist, it's typically just because it's a sensationalist topic, but they generally still do good reporting.

Vice can be gross, but they also can put together interesting pieces that reach interesting people who might otherwise not know about Sudo.  Is this for Motherboard?

Also, have we developed ideas about how we handle media inquiries in general?

Someone wants to film Sudoroom for a VICE documentary. What should we tell them?

P.S. this isn't revealing any new information. They already sent the
same thing to Noisebridge-discuss.

Subject: [sudo-info] From VICE: working on documentary series
To: info@sudoroom.org

Hi,

My name is Paula Neudorf and I'm a producer at VICE. I'm working on an
eight-part documentary series about computer security and hacking that
will air on TV in the U.S. and Canada, and internationally online.

I was referred your way by a contact at Noisebridge, because we'll be
filming in the Bay Area the week of May 18 and are looking to talk to
hackers doing interesting things.

I'd love to talk more about the series and what we're after. Please
let me know! Since I'm working on deadline, it would be great to hear
from someone at your earliest convenience.

Thanks,
Paula
