Vulture is an American entertainment news website. It is the standalone pop culture section of New York magazine. Its tagline is "Devouring culture". [1]
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] [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]
In the process of spinning off from New York, Vulture's website was redesigned in 2010 from a blog format to look more like a "full-fledged" online magazine. [1] [6] Vulture moved to an independent URL/ domain, 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 in 2018 and folded some of its coverage and its editor Megh Wright into Vulture. [9]
Vulture became a property of Vox Media when New York Media was acquired by Vox in September 2019. [10]
Citing the lack of recognition for stunt performers, Vulture in 2023 inaugurated their own Stunt Awards [11] where awards such as "Best Stunt in an Action Film" and "Best Vehicular Stunt" are awarded annually. [12] [13]
