About Us
Vulture wasfounded in 2007 as an entertainment-and-culture outlet ofNew York providing an authentic, relatable experience for pop-culture fans — which is to say, caring disproportionately about great (and not great) entertainment and the people who create it. Launched with a focus on TV recaps and general Hollywood news,the site has grown into a destination where visitors can find comprehensive coverage of TV, movies, music, art, books, theater, comedy, podcasts, among other media and pursuits, all delivered with wit, insight, criticism, and the appropriate amount of appreciation.
Along the way, Vulture evolved and expanded.The first annual Vulture Festival was held in New York City in 2014, inaugurating a pop-culture franchise that brings the website to life. TheVulture TV Podcast premiered in 2015, marking the brand’s entry into audio and establishing a show portfolio that now featuresGood One: A Podcast About Jokes andSwitched on Pop. In 2018, Vulture andNew Yorkacquired the comedy site Splitsider, formerly part of the Awl Network, cementing Vulture as the authority on the subject. In 2022, the site debuted the entertainment-infused “Vulture 10x10,” a daily crossword tailored to its audience of pop-culture obsessives.
New YorkMagazine, including Vulture, was a finalist for the National Magazine Award for General Excellence (News, Sports, and Entertainment) in 2019, 2020, and 2022, and Vulture was part ofNew York’s submission for its 2018 National Magazine Award win for Best Website.

Vulture’s commitment to guiding its readers through the progress of modern fandom has remained unchanged: It strives to help them discover entertainment they might enjoy; provide them with reporting, criticism, and insights that will deepen their understanding; compel them to argue about it online; and then recommend more entertainment for them to devour.
