The company’s brands currently include Vox, New York Magazine, The Verge, The Cut, Eater, Vulture, Polygon, Curbed, Grub Street, SB Nation, Intelligencer and Recode. In 2019, Vox Media acquired New York Media, publisher of New York Magazine, in an all-stock deal designed to gain synergies of scale. “Our combined company will be the premier home for creators, storytellers, journalists, product innovators and businesspeople who want to grow their careers and have an impact through their work.” “With this acquisition, Vox Media will extend its leadership into new categories, formats and distribution platforms by welcoming more beloved properties into our portfolio,” Bankoff said in a statement.

Under the terms of the deal, Group Nine founder and CEO Ben Lerer will join the board of Vox Media and “maintain a presence at the company to help drive key strategic initiatives and advise on commercial and corporate development,” according to the companies’ announcement.
