    Vice News Tonight is an intriguing effort--not new, exactly, but newish. The “hangin’ out doin’ journalism” approach is easy to mock, but this new program is engaging and smart.

    Given that the inaugural broadcast was fairly evenly split between pieces that provided insight, context and thoughtfully arranged information, and those that barely scratched the surface of the subject at hand, it’s too early to tell whether Vice News Tonight will become must-see viewing. But the substantial pieces certainly warrant revisiting the show in future.

    Vice News Tonight lacked cohesiveness, which is a bigger problem for a show packed with so much Attitude (with the capital “A”). We’ll see how the series adjusts, or if it feels the need to, in the future. Youths with short attention spans may appreciate the lack of filler.
