Vox.com is a pioneer in explanatory journalism. We help you understand the news and the world around you.

That is to say, our end goal isn’t telling you what just happened, or how we feel about what just happened, it’s making sure you understand what just happened. We deliver a lot of contextual information that traditional news stories aren't designed to carry.
