Gawker Releases Pay Structure, Launches Sci-Fi Blog

We promised ourselves to stop treating Gawker Media as the canary in the coal mine this year… and we deluded ourselves.

Point: Gawker Media’s new sci-fi blog, io9 launched today, after speculation about the start date with Annalee Newitz (Bad Subjects/Wired/SF Bay Guardian) at the helm.

Counterpoint: A memo from Gawker Media generalissimos Nick Denton and Noah Robischon was “leaked” by GM blog Valleywag detailing Gawker’s new pay structure. By “leaked,” of course, we mean the decision was made to simultaneously poke company management in the eye and boost their page views.

Point: io9 reads well.
