New York Media

New York Media is the publishing company behind New York magazine, a weekly (now biweekly) magazine founded in 1968 by Clay Felker and Milton Glaser. The company is headquartered in New York City and operates a portfolio of digital brands that grew out of the magazine, including The Cut (fashion and women's interest), Grub Street (food and restaurants), Intelligencer (news and politics), and Vulture (entertainment and culture). New York Media also runs the strategic content studio and events business. In 2019, New York Media was acquired by Vox Media, becoming a subsidiary of the digital media company. The brand is known for its distinctive editorial voice, its service journalism, and its influential approval matrix. New York magazine itself has won numerous National Magazine Awards and is recognized for its in-depth reporting and cultural criticism.

New York Media traces its origins to the founding of New York magazine in 1968 by Clay Felker and Milton Glaser. The magazine was created as a weekly publication focused on New York City life, politics, and culture, and it quickly became known for its innovative design and ambitious journalism. Over the decades, New York magazine expanded its brand into various digital properties. In the 2000s and 2010s, under the leadership of editor Adam Moss and later others, the magazine launched or spun off successful digital verticals such as Vulture (entertainment), The Cut (women's interest), Grub Street (food), and Intelligencer (news). These brands helped New York Media transition into a digital-first media company. In 2019, New York Media was acquired by Vox Media, a major digital media conglomerate, in an all-stock deal. The acquisition aimed to combine New York Media's strong editorial brands with Vox Media's technology and advertising platform. Since then, New York Media has operated as a subsidiary of Vox Media, continuing to publish New York magazine and its digital properties.
