Heavy is a platform for news and information; it is based in New York City. It operates through its flagship website, Heavy.com, and Spanish-language platform, AhoraMismo.com.

History

Heavy.com was founded by entrepreneurs Simon Assaad and David Carson in 1999 as a video-focused entertainment site aimed primarily at young men, debuting critically acclaimed audiovisual pop culture phenomena like the Kung Faux series.

Heavy.com rebooted in 2012 as a news site that today reaches nearly 25 million readers a month. Assaad continues to serve as CEO.

Content

Heavy.com offers reporting about trending topics.

The Wall Street Journal’s Editorial Board cited Heavy.com in an August 2019 story on the mass shooter in Dayton, Ohio, as having “gained access to Connor Betts Twitter account before it was taken down.” In November 2019, Heavy.com sports coverage was sourced by the New York Post in a story on Sam Darnold of the New York Jets football team.

AhoraMismo

AhoraMismo.com is a Spanish-language news platform.
