Vice Media and its Refinery29 division are to re-launch in Australia through a JV with the Pedestrian Group of Nine Entertainment, the TV, radio and publishing company. The deal sees both websites having independent platforms. Pedestrian already publishes Australian editions of Business Insider and Gizmodo. Vice has been active in Australia since 2014 but has struggled. At the same time as relaunching in Australia, it is closing the PopSugar brand.
