Gawker was a media company and blog network founded in 2003 by Nick Denton. It gained notoriety for its gossip and tabloid-style coverage of celebrities, politicians, and media personalities. The site also featured original reporting and commentary on a wide range of topics, from technology and business to culture and politics. Gawker was known for its irreverent and often controversial tone, and it frequently found itself at the center of legal and ethical disputes. In 2016, the company filed for bankruptcy after losing a high-profile lawsuit brought by former professional wrestler Hulk Hogan over the publication of a sex tape. The site was eventually acquired by Bustle Digital Group and relaunched in 2019, but it has since ceased operations.
