Vulture is an American entertainment news website. It is the standalone pop culture section of New York magazine. Its tagline is "Devouring Culture".[3]
History
[edit | edit source]Vulture debuted in April 2007 as an entertainment blog on nymag.com, the website of New York Magazine.[2] Melissa Maerz and Dan Kois were the founding editors.[2][4] The initial focus was television and film news, especially recaps of recent television episodes.[5][6] Over time, it expanded to publish news and criticism in other areas of high and low culture, such as music, books, comedy, and podcasts.[5]
In the process of spinning off from New York Magazine, Vulture's website was redesigned in 2010 from a blog format to look more like a "full-fledged" online magazine.[3][7] Vulture subsequently moved to an independent URL/domain (Vulture.com) in February 2012.[8]
The first Vulture Festival, an annual two-day event featuring celebrities from various pop culture fields, took place in New York City in 2014.[9]
Vulture's parent company, New York Media, bought the comedy news site Splitsider from The Awl Network in 2018 and folded some of its coverage and its editor Megh Wright into Vulture.[10]
In September 2019, Vulture became a property of Vox Media when New York Media was acquired by Vox.[1]
Vulture Stunt Awards
[edit | edit source]In 2023, citing the lack of recognition for stunt performers,[11] Vulture inaugurated their own Stunt Awards where awards such as "Best Stunt in an Action Film" and "Best Vehicular Stunt" are awarded annually.[12][13][14]
