Following a $46.5 million investment by longtime Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison private equity client General Atlantic, growing digital media company Vox Media is now valued at $380 million, more than some of the old media companies it hopes to replace.
Since its launch in 2011, Washington, D.C.-based Vox has compiled a portfolio of seven digital media outlets, including The Verge (technology and lifestyle), SB Nation (sports), Eater (dining and nightlife) and Curbed (real estate). Earlier this year the company debuted Vox.com after hiring a new editor-in-chief in Ezra Klein, a former economics and political blogger for The Washington Post.
