History
Vulture debuted in April 2007 as an entertainment blog on NYMag.com, the website of New York magazine. Melissa Maerz and Dan Kois were the founding editors. The initial focus was television and film news, especially recaps of recent TV episodes. Over time, it expanded to publish news and criticism in other areas of high and low culture, such as music, books, comedy, and podcasts.
In the process of spinning off from New York, Vulture's website was redesigned in 2010 from a blog format to look more like a "full-fledged" online magazine. Vulture moved to an independent URL/domain, Vulture.com, in February 2012.
The first Vulture Festival, an annual two-day event featuring celebrities from various pop culture fields, took place in New York City in 2014.
Vulture's parent company, New York Media, bought the comedy news site Splitsider from the Awl Network in 2018 and folded some of its coverage and its editor Megh Wright into Vulture.
Vulture became a property of Vox Media when New York Media was acquired by Vox in September 2019.
Vulture Stunt Awards
Citing the lack of recognition for stunt performers, Vulture in 2023 inaugurated their own Stunt Awards where awards such as "Best Stunt in an Action Film" and "Best Vehicular Stunt" are awarded annually.
