About Us

We live in a world with too much news and not enough understanding. Audiences are sending a clear signal: News fatigue and avoidance are up, public trust in the media is down.

Vox is the antidote. Audiences trust Vox because we tell them what truly matters and how to think about it. We do the work — sift through information, read the studies, talk to experts, and gather a range of perspectives. We don’t drown you in panic-inducing headlines. We’re not obsessed with being the first to break the news; we’re focused on being helpful to you. We offer clarity, insight, and tools to help you live a better life. And we have fun, too.

Our audience is at the heart of everything we do. We’re not focused on serving people in power — we’re focused on serving you, our audience. We want you to walk away from a Vox story and feel like you’ve learned something new, or understand a topic more deeply.

Our journalism is written and produced to be accessible to all, whether you’re a subject-matter expert or hearing about something for the very first time. We report urgently and thoroughly on the most important stories shaping our world, but also on issues the rest of the media neglects. We explain some of the biggest challenges humanity faces, but we also offer ideas and solutions to confront them.

Vox exists for you. Tell us how we can be useful.

Vox’s staff of journalists and subject-matter experts research, report and produce articles, videos, and podcasts that make complex ideas accessible. Whether it’s politics, policy, culture, democracy, animal welfare, biodiversity, artificial intelligence, the climate crisis, or how to live a better life, we give context to what’s happening today.
