Vox co-founder Ezra Klein is leaving the digital-news organization to join The New York Times, The Daily Beast has learned.

The paper will announce that Klein, who left The Washington Post in 2014 to launch Vox will join the Times in the coming weeks, the Beast has confirmed.

Klein was one of a handful of prolific writers who kicked off a wave of political blogging in the early aughts, eventually finding a home for his blog at The American Prospect and then moving it to the Post, where it was called WonkBlog. After founding Vox, he served as editor-in-chief of the website until 2017, when he transitioned into an editor-at-large role while continuing to expand his work into other forms of media, including regular MSNBC appearances, several successful political podcasts, and executive producing Vox’s Netflix series Explained.

Klein is the second Vox co-founder to leave in recent weeks. Earlier this month, Matt Yglesias—also one of the original early-aughts bloggers and young pundits—announced he was leaving the digital media company to launch his own newsletter on the digital publishing platform Substack.

Vox is an American news website owned by Vox Media.The website was founded in April 2014 by Ezra Klein, Matt Yglesias, and Melissa Bell, and is noted for its concept of explanatory journalism. Vox's media presence also includes a YouTube channel, several podcasts, and a show presented on Netflix.Vox has been described as left-of-center and progressive. The latest tweets from @ezraklein.
