About Zing Tsjeng
Zing Tsjeng is a distinguished journalist and broadcaster who served as the Editor-in-Chief at VICE and VICE UK. With an extensive background in arts, identity, and current affairs, she has contributed to major publications including British Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, and Time Out London. Her career is marked by pioneering digital launches, including her role as the inaugural News Editor for Dazed’s online desk and the founder of the VICE women’s platform Broadly.
Beyond her editorial leadership, she is a prolific author and host, known for the Forgotten Women book series which highlights influential figures omitted from history. Her broadcasting portfolio includes the BBC podcast United Zingdom, recognised by the Guardian as one of the best of 2020, and the VICE World News series Empires of Dirt. A frequent contributor to BBC News and Sky News, she has moderated discussions at leading international stages such as SXSW, Web Summit, and the Women of the World Festival.
Regarded as an LGBTQ trailblazer by Attitude magazine and listed among London’s most influential people by the Evening Standard, she is a highly commended professional in the British Journalism Awards. Organisations book her for her unique ability to blend contemporary cultural analysis with a sophisticated understanding of modern media and inclusive storytelling.
