Per the Atlantic
quote:
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. Staffers will soon be assigned to other editorial roles, either at one of the other six sites or elsewhere within Univision. Near-term plans for Gawker.com’s coverage, as well as the site’s archives, have not yet been finalized.
quote:
The news comes days after Univision announced it was buying Gawker Media, the website’s parent company and six affiliated websites, for $135 million, and months after Peter Thiel, the Silicon Valley billionaire investor, revealed that he financed a lawsuit that ultimately bankrupted Gawker Media and its founder, Nick Denton.

Can't they simply create a new website, hosting the same garbage material as they did on Gawker?

First Hulk Hogan takes down Gawker, then Trump takes down the MSM.

They should release the Hulk Hogan video one last time before they shut down.

Good fricking riddance. That site was a cancer on the Internet. Now if only Buzzfeed would follow suit.
