That’s one aspect of this that has me wondering what will happen with all the talented editors and writers that have left recently. If memory serves Denton himself spun out of existing media orgs as the whole webernets revolutions first started to create instability in traditional media. It’d be kind of apt if one of the better ex Gawkerites took this opportunity to start their own thing in a similar vein. Theoretically it’d be kind of trivial to offer former coworkers a less jacked up fresh opportunity in place of the mess they’re in. There’s no less job stability involved, but its a bit easier to sell people on hope and opportunity than it is on fear and “synergy”.
