How a Vox Journalist Is Reimagining Video Storytelling
When Christophe Haubursin left Vox, he didn't just start another YouTube channel. He created something entirely different.
Tunnel Vision is Haubursin's bold experiment in storytelling - where the journey of discovery is just as important as the destination. "I'm going into a story not knowing anything," he explains, "and showing viewers exactly how I learn, step by step."
A New Kind of Explainer
Imagine a documentary where the filmmaker doesn't pretend to be an all-knowing expert, but instead invites you along as they unravel complex topics. That's Tunnel Vision.
From Bitcoin WhatsApp groups to the future of fast fashion, Haubursin isn't just presenting information. He's breaking down walls between creator and viewer, showing his research, revealing his sources, and turning curiosity into an art form.
Behind the Scenes: A Unique Partnership
Haubursin isn't flying solo. He's partnered with Johnny and Iz Harris's media company, NewPress, in a model that feels more like a collaborative adventure than a traditional media job.
As a salaried employee with a revenue share, Haubursin gets the best of both worlds: creative freedom and financial stability. He joins a network of talented creators, with access to editorial guidance from industry veterans.
Why This Matters
"People want to learn visually," Iz Harris explains. "They want a relatable guide. And they're tired of news that feels distant and impersonal."
Tunnel Vision is more than a channel. It's a statement about modern storytelling - transparent, personal, and genuinely curious.
"I want viewers to sense there's a real person behind what they're watching," Haubursin says. "Not just a faceless entity, but someone genuinely excited to explore and learn."
As media continues to evolve, creators like Haubursin are showing us a more human way of understanding the world - one story at a time.
