Gawker is an American blog founded by Nick Denton and Elizabeth Spiers and based in New York City. It promotes itself as "the source for daily Manhattan media news and gossip." It focuses on celebrities and the media industry. According to third-party web analytics provider SimilarWeb, the site has over 23 million visits per month, as of 2015. Founded in 2003, Gawker is the flagship blog for Denton's Gawker Media. Gawker has created other blogs, including Defamer and Deadspin, which covers sports.
The site's editor-in-chief and executive editor resigned in July 2015 when Denton removed a controversial post from the site without their support. In October 2015, Alex Pareene was announced as the new editor-in-chief.
Gawker was founded by Nick Denton in 2002, after he left the Financial Times. It was originally edited by Elizabeth Spiers. Gawker’s official launch was in December 2002 When Spiers left Gawker, she was replaced by Choire Sicha, a former art dealer. Sicha was employed in this position from after her departure until August 2004, at which point he was replaced by Jessica Coen, and he became editorial director of Gawker Media. Sicha left for the New York Observer six months after his promotion.

Been a while since I parodied a Green Day song to poke fun at people. I figured now's a good time. Here's "Sayonara Gawker" a song based on "Stuart and the Avenue" from Green Day's Insomniac record.

Nick Denton's 14 year old Media Empire is dead. Univision bailing him out of complete financial ruin made their first decision and decided to scuttle Gawker [dot] com.

For several years I reviewed comments before approving them. While many of the comments were funny or thoughtful or apt, at least as many were obscene and even violent. I got tired of editing all that and so disabled all comments. I was sorry to see the good ones go, but it's been a relief not to read the rest.

Tell us what you think in the comment section below. https://www.tytnetwork.com/join “Yenni is married with a three-year-old daughter.
