Well this is kind of unexpected. According to The New York Times, Gawker is revamping its focus from general news/lifestyle coverage to politics.
We say “kind of unexpected” because back in July, there was speculation that Gawker was going to relaunch as something new.
Talk of a change began after Gawker grossly outed a married man, then wrongly stood by the post that was eventually taken down. The drama ended with two top Gawker editors resigning instead of admitting that they were wrong.
As a result of the revamped Gawker, 10 staffers are expected to lose their jobs.
