Vulture is an American entertainment news website. It is the standalone pop culture section of New York magazine. Its tagline is "Devouring culture".[2]
History
Vulture debuted in April 2007 as an entertainment blog on NYMag.com, the website of New York magazine.[3] Melissa Maerz and Dan Kois were the founding editors.[3] The initial focus was television and film news, especially recaps of recent TV episodes.[4][5] Over time, it expanded to publish news and criticism in other areas of high and low culture, such as music, books, comedy, and podcasts.[4]
New York began spinning off Vulture in 2010 when it redesigned the site from its blog format to look more like a "full-fledged" online magazine.[2][6] Vulture moved to an independent URL, Vulture.com, in February 2012.[7]
The first Vulture Festival, an annual two-day event featuring celebrities from various pop culture fields, took place in New York City in 2014.[8]
Vulture's parent company, New York Media, bought the comedy news site Splitsider from the Awl Network and folded its coverage into Vulture in 2018.[9] Vulture became part of Vox Media when New York Media was acquired by Vox in September 2019.[10]
