Gawker Editor Discusses New Direction

"We are needed now more than ever."

Now that Gawker is a politics site, editor Alex Pareene explained his vision for the future in a memo that is (of course) insanely long. It’s also hilariously self-serious because everyone at Gawker believes Gawker is more important than it actually is. What makes this memo fun is that Pareene even explains that he doesn’t want Gawker to be so self-serious. Irony!

Sadly for us, we’re paid to read these kinds of things. Good for you — we pulled the worthwhile items from Pareen’s note and pasted them below.
