Under New Owner, Gawker Is Getting Relaunched

It's likely returning in the first half of 2019

Gawker is relaunching, likely in the first half of 2019.

A holding company owned and managed by Bustle Digital Group founder Bryan Goldberg won a bankruptcy auction for the website and its assets in July for reportedly less than $1.5 million.

“We won’t recreate Gawker exactly as it was, but we will build upon Gawker’s legacy and triumphs—and learn from its missteps,” Goldberg said in an email to Bustle Digital Group staffers, obtained by Adweek. “In so doing, we aim to create something new, vibrant, highly relevant, and worth visiting daily.”

Gawker’s fate has been up in the air for some time.
