Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg is joining the board of SurveyMonkey, the online survey company that had been headed by her late husband, David Goldberg. Goldberg died suddenly from a heart-related issue in May. In addition to Sandberg, former Facebook CFO David Ebersman is also becoming a director there. He is currently the CEO of Lyra Health. And Zander Lurie — SurveyMonkey’s temporary executive chairman who has been leading the company until a CEO is chosen — has been named permanent chairman of the board.

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 of big issues with relying 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. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.
So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)
If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
