Gawker’s Denton: ‘This Is Not the Company I Built’

"This is the very, very worst version of the company," Gawker Media founder and C.E.O. Nick Denton told his editorial staff during a contentious all-hands meeting on Monday afternoon. "This is not the company I built."   Denton argued with Gawker's editors over their decision to publish a post on Thursday night about a married, male, publishing executive who allegedly tried to hire a male escort.
