Gawker's Legacy, 10 Years After Its Downfall

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."  Photo by John Pendygraft-Pool/Getty Images: Terry Bollea, aka Hulk Hogan, testifies in court during his trial against Gawker Media at the Pinellas County Courthouse on March 8, 2016 in St Petersburg, Florida.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
