Vulture
debuted in April 2007 as an entertainment
blog
on nymag.com, the website of
New York Magazine
.
[2]
Melissa Maerz and Dan Kois were the founding editors.

[4]
The initial focus was television and film news, especially recaps of recent television episodes.
[5]
[6]
Over time, it expanded to publish news and criticism in other areas of high and low culture, such as music, books, comedy, and podcasts.
[5]
In the process of spinning off from
New York Magazine
,
Vulture
's
website was redesigned in 2010 from a blog format to look more like a "full-fledged"
online magazine
.
[3]
[7]
Vulture
subsequently 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
.
[10]
In September 2019,
Vulture
became a property of
Vox Media
when New York Media was acquired by
Vox
.

Vulture Stunt Awards
[
edit
]
In 2023, citing the lack of recognition for

inaugurated their own Stunt Awards where awards such as "Best Stunt in an Action Film" and "Best Vehicular Stunt" are awarded annually.
