Mallory Rubin and Sean Fennessy, two of the founding editors of Bill Simmons’ sports and culture site The Ringer, are moving up in the ranks.
Rubin has been promoted to editor in chief of The Ringer, effective October 1, as Fennessy hands over editorial reins and becomes Chief Content Officer. Both have been with the Ringer since its launch in 2016.
HBO initially invested in The Ringer and Vox Media struck an advertising and technology deal with Vox Media in 2017. Simmons made his reputation over a 16-year career chapter at ESPN, where he spearheaded Grantland and the 30 for 30 franchise.
The Ringer operates website theringer.com as well as a podcast network with more than 30 shows as well as a social media network. It is active in scripted and unscripted production. While sports is the cornerstone of the site, recaps and live after-shows tied to series like Game of Thrones and Big Little Lies have become a staple.
