I've seen more and more stories with the byline "VOX" media and wondered who they are......Well I did a little research and found ties to COMCAST and NBC. My guess, not to be trusted.....


WHO IS "VOX MEDIA" ?
Funding

n December 2014, Vox Media raised a $46.5 million round led by the growth equity firm General Atlantic, estimating the media company's value at around $380 million.[22] Participants in Vox Media's previous rounds include Accel Partners, Comcast Ventures, and Khosla Ventures. Other funders are Allen & Company, Providence Equity Partners, and various angel investors, including Ted Leonsis, Dan Rosensweig, Jeff Weiner, and Brent Jones.[6][23][24] According to sources, the Series C in May 2012, valued Vox at $140 million.[25] A Series D valued the company north of $200M, raising an additional $40M[26][27]

In August 2015, NBCUniversal made a $200 million equity investment in Vox Media , valuing the company at more than $1 billion.[28]
