Gawker to shut down as Univision buys Gawker Media
Gawker.com will end next week after its parent company is sold to Univision for 135 million dollars from bankruptcy. Gawker founder Nick Denton told staff the site would shut down Thursday afternoon. The sale includes Jezebel Gizmodo and Deadspin with Univision courting the sports, tech and women’s blogs to attract a younger audience. The shutdown follows the Hulk Hogan invasion of privacy verdict and Gawker’s long battle with Peter Thiel, who funded the suit.
