consumers union , the nonprofit publisher of consumer reports magazine , planned to announce on wednesday that it had acquired urltoken , a popular blog formerly owned by gawker media .

i am proud of what we have achieved at gawker media group , both in our work and our business , never more so than in these last few months .

the editorial employees and management of gawker media and the staff of the wgae all spent very many hours getting here , and we are very thankful it is done .

last june , gawker became the first in a series of digital media companies to seek to unionize . others like the huffington post , vice and salon followed suit .

at the time it filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on friday , gawker media was fighting at least 10 separate lawsuits and was facing the threat of yet another .

[ update : this story has been updated to accurately reflect the nature of a gawker media story on the architecture of donald trump & apos ; s hair . ]

the sale brought an end to the company’s independence , and nick denton , its founder and chief executive , left . univision took down other gawker articles that were involved in litigation . gawker . com , which was at the center of the hulk hogan lawsuit , was shut down . gawker media even lost its name — the sites that univision acquired are now part of the gizmodo media group .

the evidence also suggests the attackers have had access to gawker’s internal systems for a period of time that is at least a month , and that they gained root level access to servers the gawker media web properties are hosted on .

the writers guild of america , east , the union that represents gawker employees , is also involved in writer contract negotiations at vice and the huffington post . here are some of the major details from the gawker media union agreement :

conversations with more than a dozen current and former staffers over the past several weeks detailed a difficult integration that has chipped away the spirit and ethos of gawker media , founded 14 years ago by nick denton as two blogs covering media and tech gossip , which eventually evolved into the fiercely independent , proudly standoffish , endlessly navel - gazing media company targeted by thiel and hogan .

denton personally owns just under 50 % of gawker media , a company he founded and bootstrapped in the early 2000s , before facebook was a semi - reliable traffic hose for publishers and banner ads generated meaningful revenue . through a family trust , denton owns 68 % of the company . he says insiders own 90 % of gawker media .

a source familiar with the situation said gawker ultimately paid the subject of the offending article a tidy undisclosed sum in order to avoid another lawsuit ; gawker media president and general counsel heather dietrick declined to confirm or deny such a settlement .

mr . bollea sued gawker media in 2012 over gawker . com’s publication of a black - and - white tape that showed mr . bollea having sex with a woman who was at the time the wife of a friend of his .

yet max read , gawker’s editor - in - chief , practically gloated in a tweet of his own : “given the chance gawker will always report on married c - suite executives of major media companies fucking around on their wives . ”

denton’s also cutting off a possible future income stream , one which is a great hope of many msm publishers—app revenues . the new design is stunning , both in terms of looks and in terms of usability , when viewed in safari for ipad — indeed , it’s referred to within gawker media as “the ipad design . ” given that , there’s no reason for gawker media to develop its own ipad apps . gawker’s sites have always been creatures of the web ; attempts to branch out into other media have not fared well . the new design makes it clear that while the sites will look great on the ipad , gawker media has no strategic interest in entering the app space .

narisetti is leading gmg through the media company ' s merger with fusion media group , which is owned by the spanish - language juggernaut univision . according to the ceo , the transition has been a success .

under pressure from a $ 140 million legal judgment in favor of hulk hogan , gawker media filed for bankruptcy protection on friday , and is putting itself up for auction .

in cultural and business terms , this is an act of destruction , because urltoken was a popular and profitable digital media property—before the legal bills mounted . gawker will be missed

as the case went to the jury , gawker media released a statement saying that they expect an appeals court will need to resolve the case . it reads in part :

but those were all fun and games until now . the gawker hack was their first big coup as a group . they had been at it for a month . as the news broke and gawker media was scrambling to patch the holes , gnosis sat quietly , “gawking at the media response , ” according to one involved in the aftermath .

gawker media filed for bankruptcy after losing a $ 140 million invasion - of - privacy suit brought by former professional wrestler hulk hogan and funded by tech billionaire peter thiel .

[ 30 ] gawker media , llc v . bollea , 129 so . 3d 1196 ( fla . dist . ct . app . jan . 17 , 2014 ) .

gawker built its brand with gossip about the media elite before expanding into a network of sites that cover things such as feminist issues , sports , and celebrities . but the media empire could face bankruptcy if it loses the case and is forced to make the $ 100m payout .

for the time being , then , gawker media remains a media company : it might have some clever technology , but the value is in the media brands , their google juice , and their extensive archives—as well as in the company’s future advertising revenues . denton is letting key employees convert their quarterly bonuses into shares of gawker media at $ 30 apiece , which corresponds to a valuation of $ 30 million ; he has also offered to buy back current shareholders’ holdings at the same price . most observers , myself included , reckon that valuation is ridiculously low .

ziff davis and univision were the only two bidders for gawker , which filed for bankruptcy after hulk hogan and peter thiel won a $ 140 million judgment in a privacy case . ziff davis had originally offered $ 90 million for gawker media .

after claiming they had worked for no pay , three former gawker media interns sued denton and the company in 2013 , resulting in a three - year legal battle . in march 2016 , a judge ruled in favor of gawker and denton .

the report suggests the times consider expanding further into live events . they highlight the success media brands such as

each desk labors over section fronts , but pays little attention to promoting its work on social media . ”

for many years , even by the relatively modest standards of online media . in recent years , the company

this morning , “ the biggest event in gawker media history ” took place : gawker’s sites have officially launched their redesigns . go to urltoken — or urltoken or urltoken or urltoken or the other sites that make up gawker media at the moment — and you’ll see the new page layout that’s been on display in beta - dot form for the past couple of months , brought to life on the properties’ home urls .

teresa thomas v gawker media llc , et al . - former yahoo employee teresa thomas sued gawker , denton , cook and nicholas thompson ( former gawker writer now at business insider ) for defamation and invasion of privacy after the site reported in 2007 that she dated the head of yahoo’s media operation and was then pushed out of the company after they broke up . thomas is seeking $ 74 , 000 in damages .

gawker media , reeling from the $ 140 million awarded to former pro - wrestler hulk hogan in an invasion - of - privacy suit , has filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy , and said it’s being sold to ziff davis , the media company that owns pc magazine and other publications .

back in november , nick denton put gawker media’s fleshbot up for sale . the official announcement , here , is nsfw due to the ads surrounding it — which pretty much explains why fleshbot was being sold : its customers — porn sites — are very , very different from the brand advertisers who supply the money to all the other gawker media properties .

ormer professional wrestler hulk hogan agreed on wednesday to accept at least $ 31 million from gawker media to settle his lawsuit over publication of a sex tape , court documents showed .

, gawker media lost a gigantic lawsuit over the publication of a sex tape in 2012 , brought against it by former pro wrestler hulk hogan , who appeared in the footage .

“gmgi’s principal assets are its 100 % ownership of kinja and gawker media . it does not have real estate holdings , significant cash on deposit , or other fixed assets . ”

the new york times reported earlier , citing a person briefed on the plan , that ziffdavis submitted an opening bid of $ 90 million to $ 100 million for gawker media .

gawker media group is putting its properties up for sale after a coordinated barrage of lawsuits intended to put the company out of business and deter its writers from offering critical coverage .

gawker will certainly be an improvement from unvision ' s first foray into english - language media , fusion , which began as a television station and accompanying website in oct . 2013

[ 32 ] bolea v . gawker media , llc , case no . 12012447 - ci - 011 ( fla . 6th cir . ct . june 8 , 2016 ) .

univision bought gawker media last august in a fire sale . it shuttered the iconic gawker . com , which was viewed as toxic after a court ordered gawker media to pay terry bollea — aka hulk hogan — $ 140 million for publishing a sex tape featuring the wrestler . the lawsuit was secretly funded by peter thiel , the early facebook investor and board member who was publicly outed by the publication as gay years earlier .

gawker editor - in - chief max read had responded to the initial volley of comments , saying " given the chance gawker will always report on married c - suite executives of major media companies f * * cking around on their wives . "

the advocate has reached out to nick denton , founder and chief executive of gawker media , for comment . at the publication of this article , gawker is trending on twitter and the post has more than 200 , 000 page views and counting .

“finally , gawker media also derives a small portion of its revenue from international licensing of the content from its websites . for example , gawker media licenses the content of its gizmodo website to entities in brazil , europe and japan , and those international entities in turn use the gizmodo content for their own websites using rich site summary ( rss ) feeds . ”

. but gawker writers were not so discriminating . it was a matter of pride that gawker ran stories that could not be published elsewhere .

campbell did grant gawker a stay , but only under conditions that gawker described as “onerous . ” a person close to gawker said that the conditions of the stay would have given hogan a lien on all of gawker ' s assets , allowing him to begin seizing the assets , and would have prohibited gawker from using cash to fund its operations .
