The Ringer Is Switching Up Platforms

From Medium to Vox Media

When the Bill Simmons-led site The Ringer came into being last year, it did so on blogging platform Medium, becoming the “first premium content website to live on Medium,” according to the announcement from Edward Lichty, Medium’s head of partnerships at the time.

But then Medium’s strategy shifted early this year, away from what founder Ev Williams described as the “broken system” of “ad-driven media on the internet.”

And now it is Simmons leaving Medium, for Vox Media.
