WHO WE ARE

New York Magazine obsessively chronicles the ideas, people, and cultural events that are reshaping our world. The New York brand includes the groundbreaking magazine New York, which is published biweekly in print, and six thriving verticals: Intelligencer, delivering national news and sharp commentary on politics, business, technology, and media; the Cut, covering the conversations that matter most to women today; Vulture, the premier destination for culture news, criticism, and service; the Strategist, dedicated to shopping the internet smartly; Curbed, covering cities and city life; and Grub Street, home to food news and authoritative restaurant criticism.

The Cut, a New York Magazine site, is home to the conversations that matter most to women today - from politics and intersectional feminism to work, money, relationships, mental health and sex - and forward-thinking coverage of fashion and style.

The Cut is part of Vox Media, the leading modern media company. We guide our audience from discovery to obsession. We inspire essential conversations about what's now, what's next, and what's possible.

This applies to our candidates, our teams, our storytelling, our creative work, and our platforms, products, and partnerships.
