Gawker BLOG is DEAD! What happened? #HNNMedia

On August 18th, 2016, Gawker Media announced that its flagship blog, gawker.com, would be ceasing operations the week after. Univision will continue to operate Gawker Media's six other websites - Deadspin, Gizmodo, Jalopnik, Jezebel, Kotaku and Lifehacker. 

On August 22nd, 2016 Nick Denton wrote the final article for Gawker, titled "How Things Work." this is too sad. Many say the Hulk Hogan sex tape judgement caused it all. Either way I loved that blog when it started in 2003. I started blogging in 1999 with Pyra which became Google's blogger. There were many controversies with celebrities and more. 

Read the blog's Wikipedia profile to better understand.
