Protests in Baltimore, a migrant crisis in Europe, the first Triple Crown winner in three decades, and stunning shots of Pluto. Relive the highs and lows of the past year:
This year began and ended with tragedies in Paris. But in between, we celebrated a groundbreaking Emmy win for Viola Davis, a World Cup victory for the US women's soccer team, and marriage equality.
Freddie Gray's death in Baltimore sparked protests and debate over police practices nationwide. Caitlyn Jenner's iconic Vanity Fair cover sparked dialogue around the rights and visibility of trans people. Check out the video above for a look back at the people and events that defined 2015.
Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple reasons that we can't rely only on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on.
First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.
Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. We can’t do that if we have a paywall.
That’s why we also turn to you, our readers, to help us keep Vox free. If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today?
