About this episode
Gawker was a pioneering, era-defining blog that covered the world of media and celebrities and was known for its snarky creative voice and questionable journalistic ethics. Ten years after the billionaire-funded lawsuit that drove it into bankruptcy, Frank DiGiacomo, entertainment reporter and co-author of Paper of Wreckage: An Oral History of The New York Post, discusses the outlet's enduring legacy as described in his recent piece, "At Gawker, They Battled a Billionaire. 10 Years Later, the Scars Are Still Healing."
