Gawker Media Mg. Ed.: 'Core Staff — The Main Writers' Staying on at Newly-Sold Blogs
Gawker Media managing editor Noah Robischon confirmed “the site leads of each are staying,” but couldn’t speak to the ultimate fate of freelancers employed by newly-sold GM blogs Gridskipper, Idolator, and Wonkette. “Gridskipper, as you know, employs a ton of freelancers,” he said by phone this morning, acknowledging that he couldn’t speak to their ultimate fate within the jettisoned blogs’ new homes.
