The platforms where most people spend most of their time are being flooded with content, much of it increasingly automated, increasingly indistinguishable, and increasingly optimized for volume over meaning. AI has dramatically lowered the cost of producing content, thereby accelerating the commoditization of audience attention. Over the last year, something fundamental has shifted in the media and marketing ecosystem. Even the platforms themselves are acknowledging the challenge. In a recent post, Instagram head Adam Mosseri noted that AI-generated content is becoming increasingly difficult to parse and that it will likely take years for platforms and audiences to fully grapple with the implications. That’s a striking admission from one of the largest content distribution systems in the world. At the same time, audiences are telling us something equally important. Research from Pew shows that three-quarters of audiences say it’s important to know whether content was made by AI, yet only 1 in 10 people feel confident they can tell the difference. That gap between importance and certainty is the trust deficit brands now operate inside.  When even the platforms say it will take years to untangle AI-generated content and audiences say they care deeply about what’s real but can’t tell, trust becomes the scarcest resource in marketing. At Vox Media, we’ve always centered talented creators, invested in strong franchises and IP, and developed communities, both online and IRL. As this new era of discovery, trust, and brand-building takes shape, we’re sharpening how we will work with our brand partners to leverage our talent and IP to deliver on their goals.   How we’re evolving at Vox Media At Vox Media, we have leading publishing and podcasting businesses.

SB Nation, Vox Media’s pioneering sports brand built for fans, today debuts a major redesign, reimagining the site experience across its nearly 200 vibrant fan communities. Key to the redesign are features that put SB Nation’s loyal users front and center, along with a premium advertising experience. At a moment when traditional social platforms are increasingly fragmented (RIP sports Twitter), SB Nation is doubling down on its greatest asset: a deeply loyal and hyper-engaged audience that comes back multiple times daily—not just to read, but to talk. “Since its inception, SB Nation has been a home for passionate fans and smart sports conversation,” said John Ness, head of content at SB Nation. “This redesign reflects that DNA, giving our community more ways to engage and putting its voice front and center.” At the heart of the redesign is The Feed, a dynamic new section on every SB Nation site that surfaces content from both sports journalists and the community. From quick takes and trending topics to questions, polls, and embedded social posts, The Feed is built to spark conversation and make it easier for fans to start their own, with longtime commenters and power users getting increased visibility and opportunities to lead the conversation. The redesign will also more prominently spotlight the busiest conversations happening right now and the most talked-about stories on the site. Additionally, the redesign will include a premium advertising experience including a clean new in-feed unit serving relevant ads to the conversations taking place, and a more streamlined experience for logged-in users. “This marks a strategic shift toward even more community-forward publishing, at a time when fans are hungry for spaces that feel tailored to them,” said Ryan Pauley, president at Vox Media. “We also know that our partners are eager to reach those fans in

CHALLENGE, INSPIRE, & PACING CULTURE From the earliest cave paintings to the digital narratives of today, stories remain the foundation of human culture and shape our beliefs, our norms, and our place in it. Storytellers, whether they were ancient poets, playwrights, journalists, or content creators, have always held a unique power to challenge norms, inspire change, and set the pace of culture.   The hunger for meaningful narratives remains palpable. Nearly three-quarters of us, led by the voices of Gen Z (78%), believe we need more storytellers to challenge our thinking about identity and culture. This isn’t just passive consumption; it’s a call for engagement for 70% of consumers. However, in the ever-evolving landscape of human expression, it’s clear that the voices shaping our collective narrative are changing, and with them, the mediums through which we engage with ideas that challenge and inspire us. FROM CHANGE TO CHILL:  MUSICS EVOLVING ROLE For decades, musicians were the pulse of cultural change, giving voice to rebellion, identity, and social causes. From Billie Holiday’s haunting protest in Strange Fruit to Bob Dylan’s anthems of resistance, and from John Lennon’s calls for peace to Madonna’s fearless reinvention of gender and sexuality, music shaped the way generations saw the world.  But, has music shifted from its activism roots? As cultural expression shifts, 62% note that music as a tool for protest is fading – even more true for younger cohorts. Today, music has taken on a different role. Nearly half of us see it as more about entertainment than activism, with genres fragmenting and streaming options multiplying. The anthems that once united generations have given way to personal playlists that reflect individual experiences.   In fact, 48% of Gen Z see it as a platform for personal expression rather than collective action. These trends reflect how

Three-Part Documentary is Now Streaming on Netflix  Starting today, Vox Media Studios and New York Magazine’s new documentary series, Gold & Greed: The Hunt for Fenn’s Treasure is now streaming on Netflix. Based on Benjamin Wallace’s reporting for New York Magazine, Gold & Greed tells the story of Forrest Fenn, an 80-year-old man, who hid a fantastical treasure in the mountains north of Santa Fe that spurred a decade-long treasure hunt. People gave up their jobs, families, and even their lives in pursuit of Fenn’s hidden millions. Now, for the community of devoted hunters, this dangerous pursuit of gold has become an obsessive search for the meaning of truth. Gold and Greed profiles something exceedingly rare – a treasure hunt where the treasure is actually found – and the mystery of where it may be hidden again. Gold & Greed: The Hunt for Fenn’s Treasure is the latest adaptation from Vox Media Studios and New York Magazine. Other recent projects include the feature-length documentary Deepfaking Sam Altman based on Elizabeth Weil’s reporting and HBO’s An Update on Our Family based on Caitlin Moscatello’s feature about family vlogging. Additional notable New York adaptations include Hustlers, The Watcher, Inventing Anna, Saturday Night Fever, and many others. Gold & Greed is produced by Vox Media Studios and Nomadica Films. It is executive produced by Max Heckman, Chad Mumm, Mark W. Olsen, Jared McGilliard, David Clawson, John Collin Jr., Kurt Tondorf, James Campbell, Dean King, and James Haygood.
