2017
As digital video continues to scale across the mobile web, a belief has emerged that content must be short, snackable and shallow to break through. That people aren’t willing to go beneath the surface, limited by pocket-sized attention spans and fleeting interests.
At Vox Media we think, create and program for a different kind of audience. We serve the obsessives. The super fans. The impassioned who are willing to go deeper.
Deeper is where interest becomes passion and info becomes knowledge. Where audiences lean in, stay awake, and pay attention to the stories they care about. We’ve leveraged an authentic obsession with sports, food, technology, pop culture and news to grow eight brands that matter, now accessible to hundreds of millions of people across every screen and every platform through our award-winning video programming.
Smoked Oysters at home? Yeah, right.

You Can Do This proves that with a few cooking hacks, the casual cook can turn into a kitchen fiend.
Human stories that emerge from the lines on a map.
Some borders are based on dramatic mountain ranges. Some are completely arbitrary. While the line in the sand can take many forms, every border has penetrating impact on the people who live within, between and on the other side. Vox Editor Johnny Harris documents the real cultures, collaboration, dialogue, and conflicts that borders create - and the lives they change.
