The partnership includes reports on Vice's nightly news programme in the US and the UK.

The deal is the first of it's kind that Vice News has agreed to with any other news organisation.

The partnership will involve a small number of Guardian journalists joining Vice's offices in London.

Co-founder and chief executive of Vice Media, Shane Smith, said: “This partnership provides a test case for the way forward in multi-platform exploitation of content, and when that content is the foremost investigative news in the business it becomes even more imperative. Real, fact-based, trusted news has never been more important and this partnership, I am very excited to say, will provide just that.”.

Editor in chief of Guardian News & Media, Katharine Viner, said: “Guardian journalism has never been more relevant or in demand. This partnership recognises the Guardian and Vice as pioneers in digital news and underscores our commitment to using video to open up our journalism in new and interesting ways.”

Chief executive of Guardian Media Group, David Pemsel, said: “Partnering with Vice is testament to our strategy to innovate on a global scale to maximise both the revenue potential and impact of our journalism. We’re really excited about this opportunity to do just that whilst building further awareness of the Guardian brand both in the US and amongst valuable millennial audiences.”
