Wall Street Journal: Hearst said it has taken a minority stake in Complex, a network of video-driven websites focused on street fashion, music and pop culture founded by former graffiti artist-turned-clothing designer Marc Ecko. The $21 million strategic investment is the latest of several Hearst has made recently in video-heavy digital media companies, including Vice Media and AwesomenessTV. The deals come amid a wave of partnerships between digital media upstarts and traditional media giants seeking to attract younger audiences that have migrated online.
