6. Hulk Hogan Comments After Gawker Media Annouces They Will Shut Down Their Website
After Gawker Media lost their case to WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan, they sold their 7 websites to Univision Communications for $135 million. The website will shut down next week after 14 years and below is what they posted:
“After nearly fourteen years of operation, Gawker.com will be shutting down next week. The decision to close Gawker comes days after Univision successfully bid $135 million for Gawker Media’s six other websites, and four months after the Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel revealed his clandestine legal campaign against the company. Nick Denton, the company’s outgoing CEO, informed current staffers of the site’s fate on Thursday afternoon, just hours before a bankruptcy court in Manhattan will decide whether to approve Univision’s bid for Gawker Media’s other assets. The near-term plans for Gawker.com’s coverage, as well as the site’s archives, have not yet been finalized.”
