Old media is buying its way into new media, again, with [NBCUniversal throwing cash at Buzzfeed and Vox Media](http://recode.net/2015/08/12/nbcuniversal-buys-big-chunks-of-vox-media-and-buzzfeed/?ref=onemanandhisblog.com):

> BuzzFeed, meanwhile, is expected to be worth $1.5 billion after its NBCU investment, which multiple sources say is also $200 million — not the $250 million we had previously reported.

Some interesting figures when compared with the [leaked costs from earlier](http://www.onemanandhisblog.com/archives/2015/08/buzzfeed-editorial-costs.html?ref=onemanandhisblog.com).

And as for Vox:

> The media giant is investing $200 million in Vox Media, at a pre-money valuation of $850 million, according to several sources. Which is another way of saying Vox Media is now worth more than $1 billion, after raising around $300 million altogether.

Remind me again how there’s no money in digital?
