It’s been a while since James Murdoch has been able to suck the coolness out of anything, the last occasion being his involvement with Rawkus Records over a decade ago. But that might all be about to change, as The Independent reports that Murdoch Jnr is set to join Vice Media’s board as a director.

As previously reported, Rupert Murdoch’s 21st Century Fox took a 5% stake in Vice Media earlier this year, a $70 million deal giving Vice a valuation of $1.4 billion.
