Murdoch's Lupa Lands NY Magazine and Vox Network in $300M Media Bet
James Murdoch's Lupa Systems will acquire New York Magazine, Vox Media's Podcast Network and Vox.com for more than $300 million. Vox assets not included in the sale—Eater, Popsugar, SB Nation, The Dodo and The Verge—will spin off into an independent company led by Ryan Pauley. The NY Magazine and Vox properties will operate under a revived Vox Media led by CEO Jim Bankoff, with the deal expected to close in four to six weeks. The package includes Vox.com and the Vox Podcast Network (featuring shows such as Pivot and Where Should We Begin?), expanding Lupa's reach in culture, journalism and audio.
