In 2019, Canadian music reporter Slava P., an editor for VICE media, was sentenced to nine years in prison for recruiting friends into a scheme to smuggle cocaine from the U.S. into Australia. Five of them were already in jail. Immediately, Slava P. was internationally infamous. Was he a victim of pressure to commit extreme acts for the sake of a good story? A product of a drug-obsessed work environment? Or a manipulator, who pushed vulnerable young people into crime? Here, Slava P. tells his side of the story: what exactly happened and how the precarious, dog-eat-dog atmosphere of a media company can lead the young, the naiÌve, and the ambitious into taking crazy risks. Bad Trips is a story of drugs, hip-hop, influencers, and glamour, set against the backdrop of one of the world's most influential news and entertainment sites, VICE. Its cast of beautiful young people and semi-famous rappers passes from the seediest apartments to the most elegant of private clubs. Slava's chronicling of his years at this famous hotbed of excess is a piercing insight into contemporary media culture."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 600 10 $a Pastuk, Slava. 650 0 $a Drug couriers $z Canada $v Biography. 650 0 $a Drug traffic $z Canada. 650 0 $a Drug traffic $z Australia. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Whitney, Brian, $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20220802014557.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9E5C01F0122B11EDB028045E3CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
