NM Greenroom | VICE Magazine's Ben Ditto & Kevin Lee Kharas (2026)

"Anyone that claims they understand the world — this immediately marks them out as a fraud." — Kevin Lee KharasAfter the imperial collapse (40 global offices, thousands of employees, bankruptcy), VICE magazine is now run by a lean, London-based team — and it is making one of the best culture publications currently in circulation. Ben Ditto (Vice global editorial director; founder of Ditto Nation; creative dir. Yaya Labs; founding creative dir. Dazed Beauty) and Kevin Lee Kharas (Vice editor-in-chief and co-founder of the electronic duo Real Lies) come on New Models to discuss their current “Not The Photo Issue” (feat. Dean Kissick x Adam Curtis, Bertie Brandes, Mat Dryhurst, Günseli Yalcinkaya, Duncan Wilson, and others) and their media philosophy at large. Subscribe to VICE: “Not The Photo Issue”For more: NM49 | GPT Ditto w/ Ben Ditto
