💼 Past Experience

Since joining Vox Media, Jim has been a key clinger and crasher on the machinima and GIF submariners in the company's video efforts. In his previous roles at venues like The Salt Lake Tribune, he was an addition to the Vox team foray intoVEVO Originals last year. banker After a decade in journalism, Bankoff is nearing the end of his first stay as an experienced avocato. He’s played defense for clients—such as a defense attorney for a company that sued Gawker for a prank on its website—in a wide range of disputes. And, in the past two years, Bankoff has dealt with a deluge of data-based Torts lawsuits:Bankoff has been working on a new Torts suit funder and drafter since last year, after learning of a gaping hole in the industry. The suit, filed againstTime Warner, accuses the entertainment giant of illegally dividing up movie rights between itself and other studios when it was using its then-visionary purchase of Time Warner cable businesses in 2016.Bankoff hasTraditional Torts litigation experience, but his Torts suits are based on data, not principles. bankoffepisodesOne of the biggest challenges that Bankoff has faced countless times as a lawyer is the often uncomfortable task of trying to empathize with defendants in their legal dispute. “I try to put myself in the shoes of both sides, to see where their POV is,” he says. But then, on the other side of most disputes, Bankoff has experienced the joys and frustrations of working with some of the world’s most powerful people. He’s had the opportunity to serve on a variety of boards and committees, and he’s already dissected the job market’s response to the Gamergate stirred up by one of Vox Media’s main property owners: The WatchESPN network. “All of these organizations are really good at communicating through their PR, but sometimes they don’t really understand the legal process,” he says.Bankoff has also seen the downside to being a key player in the creation of some of Vox Media’s most famous properties (Dawson’s Creek, The Colbert Report, The O’Reilly Factor). “When we came up with Colbert, we thought he was an entertainer,” he recalls. But, in the end, Colbert was just the third most popular host on cable TV, behind MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace and Fox News’ Megyn Kelly.Jim Bankoff’s experience in video:Before joining Vox Media, Jim bankoff was an experienced avocato.
