Vox A Finalist for Three Online News Association AwardsUntitled

August 1, 2023:

Today, Vox editor-in-chief Swati Sharma congratulated members of the Vox newsroom on being named as finalists for three online news association awards.

“We are thrilled that Vox’s incredible team of reporters across audio, video, and text have had their exemplary, impactful work recognized by ONA,” said Sharma. “The strength of our multimedia newsroom is critical to meeting audiences across the platforms where they consume news, with informative coverage that goes beyond the headlines and feeds curiosity. Congratulations to all those who are being recognized for their excellent work.”

The finalists are as follows:

Recognition in the features category for a story on the deadliest road in America, which resulted in policy changes at the local level to improve road safety. The story was written by Marin Cogan and edited by Julia Rubin, Alanna Okun, and Lavanya Ramanathan;
Recognition for excellence in digital video storytelling for longform video for a piece on what New Zealand can teach us about reparations. The team includes Fabiola Cineas, Melissa Hirsch, Halley Brown, Ranjani Chakraborty, Bridgett Henwood, Dion Lee, Dave Seekamp, Catherine Spangler, and Joey Sendaydiego;
Recognition for excellence in the audio digital storytelling category for their popular podcast Unexplainable’s episode on what dinosaurs sounded like. This story was produced by Noam Hassenfeld, Meradith Hoddinott, Brian Resnick, and Richard Sima, with additional support from Cristian Ayala.

Winners will be announced in August.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on.

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.

It’s important that we have several ways we make money, just like it’s important for you to have a diversified retirement portfolio to weather the ups and downs of the stock market. That’s why, even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)

If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.

Yes, I’ll give $120/year
