  • Gawker is an American blog founded by Nick Denton and Elizabeth Spiers and based in New York City focusing on celebrities and the media industry. According to SimilarWeb, the site had over 23 million visits per month as of 2015. Founded in 2003, Gawker was the flagship blog for Denton's Gawker Media. Gawker Media also managed other blogs such as Jezebel, io9, Deadspin and Kotaku. Gawker came under scrutiny for posting videos, communications and other content that violated copyrights or the privacy of its owners, or was illegally obtained. Gawker's publication of a sex tape featuring Hulk Hogan led Hogan to sue the company for invasion of privacy. Hogan received financial support from billionaire investor Peter Thiel, who had been outed by Gawker against his wishes. On June 10, 2016, Gawker filed for bankruptcy after being ordered to pay Hogan $140 million in damages. On August 18, 2016, Gawker Media announced that its namesake blog would be ceasing operations the following week. Its other websites were unaffected, and continued to be run by Univision. Founder Nick Denton created the site's final post on August 22, 2016. On July 12, 2018, Bryan Goldberg, owner of Bustle and Elite Daily, purchased Gawker.com in a bankruptcy auction for less than $1.5 million. Gawker relaunched under the Bustle Digital Group on July 28, 2021, with Leah Finnegan as editor. (en)
  • Gawker era un blog con sede a New York che definisce se stesso come "la fonte per ogni notizia e gossip quotidiana di Manhattan" e concentra la propria attenzione sulle celebrità e sul mondo dei mass media Fondato nel 2003, Gawker era il principale blog del gruppo Gawker Media di Nick Denton. Gawker ha generato la nascita di altri blog, fra cui , che si dedica all'area di Los Angeles, e che invece "copre" la Silicon Valley. In seguito all'incorporazione di questi blog nello stesso Gawker.com, il sito adesso utilizza lo slogan "Gossip from Manhattan and the Beltway to Hollywood and the Valley". Fra gli scoop più celebri di cui si è reso protagonista il blog si possono citare: un filmato di Tom Cruise legato a Scientology, la pubblicazione di alcune e-mail private di Sarah Palin, un filmato hardcore amatoriale di Eric Dane e della moglie Rebecca Gayheart, insieme alla reginetta di bellezza , la diffusione di un filmato tra il wrestler Hulk Hogan e Heather Clem (ex moglie del wrestler Todd Alan Clem, noto come "Bubba the Love Sponge").

  • Gawker — американский интернет-таблоид, запустившийся в 2003 году в формате блога о знаменитостях и массмедиа. Издание позиционировало себя как «ресурс дневных манхэттенских медиановостей и сплетен». Согласно SimilarWeb, к 2015 году сайт ежемесячно посещали более 23 миллионов человек. Gawker являлся флагманским активом Gawker Media, управлявшего семью СМИ (Jezebel, Deadspin, Kotaku и др.). Редактором сайта с октября 2015 года был Алекс Пэриини. Популярность Gawker обрёл за счёт публикации материалов, нарушающих конфиденциальность и полученных незаконным путём. 10 июня 2016 года было объявлено о начале банкротства Gawker из-за проигранного судебного иска Халку Хогану на сумму в 140 миллионов долларов, 18 августа Gawker Media объявило о закрытии gawker.com через неделю, и отсутствии влияния этого события на судьбу других активов медиахолдинга. Последняя статья проекта посвящена слову fuck. (ru)
