Khan joins from Cosmopolitan, will shape and edit culture features

Today, Vox announced that Naureen Khan has joined the team as senior editor for culture and features. In addition to shaping the outlet’s culture coverage, Khan will lead its service journalism-focused vertical, Even Better, which is focused on helping people live better lives individually and collectively — from mental health to relationships of all kinds to work, money, and more.

“Naureen has an expansive view of both culture and service coverage, and a keen eye for a wide range of stories that will resonate with Vox’s audience,” said senior editorial director Julia Rubin. “I’m excited to welcome such a sharp editor to the team, where she will play a pivotal role in building upon our track record of powerful journalism.”

Previously, Khan was senior editor of news analysis and opinion at Cosmopolitan, editing culture and lifestyle coverage for the website. Prior to that role, she was co-executive producer and senior researcher at Full Frontal with Samantha Bee for the show’s entire six-year run. Khan also served as a campaign and politics reporter for National Journal and Al Jazeera America. She resides in Brooklyn, NY and is originally from Texas.
