Quartz: Before Vox Media struck a deal to buy Re/code, the two digital publishers already had something in common: Comcast, which has invested in both companies and could end up owning them outright. Comcast has been engaged in halting negotiations to acquire Vox Media, according to several people close to the talks. The sticking point, as always, is price, with Vox Media seeking a valuation close to $1 billion. Negotiations fell apart when it became clear Comcast didn’t want to pay that much, but the two sides have talked again recently.
