Last week’s plea post looking for a new managing editor for Gawker.com, Gawker media’s flagship site says:
“The right candidate will oversee Gawker’s evolution.
A feel for the tone of the internet, and the particular obsessions of the internet audience, is necessary.”
And the New York Times reports yesterday that Gawker founder, Nick Denton himself will be taking over.
I’ve always liked Nick’s writing style and have been reading his material online since late 2003, wherever he happens to be writing, so I’ll be gawking Gawker.com more closely from now on.
