When 2024 rolled around, we knew there were going to be some big news events to plan for: the election, the Olympics. But 2024 also marks Vox's 10th anniversary, and we didn't want the occasion to pass without making some sort of original editorial mark. So, as often happens around these parts, a brainstorm ensued.
We landed on the idea of "turning points" — those moments when things shifted, though you only realized that was the case in hindsight. The project's name? This Changed Everything. It was a fun frame that could encompass the wide range of topics we tackle, tapping into the varied and impressive expertise across the newsroom.
More than 20 reporters contributed turning points, alongside more than a dozen editors, spanning every subject we cover: politics, culture, climate, tech, policy, health, world, consumerism. And that's only the half of it! This project also involved a slew of audio producers, video producers, and staffers across nearly every team here: visuals, style and standards, audience, operations.
Ambitious work like this is only possible thanks to support from our audience. Vox recently introduced a new way to support our journalism. The Vox Membership program includes new perks that provide a deeper look into how projects like this one get made. We'd love for you to join us.
