Comment on Vox Media is cutting pay and furloughing 9% of employees

Comments

didn't Vox got like $200 million from NBCUniversal? why not ask for another round of funding?

They did raise $200 million from NBCU in 2015. Now probably wouldn't be a great time to try to raise money given that their revenue streams (ads, events, etc.) are under extreme pressure.

Wasn't that like 5 years ago and several spun-up media sites later?

Because NBCUniversal is hemorrhaging money.
