Wired: What is Nick Denton’s core vision for Gawker? “We are committed to unearthing and sharing the story behind the story, what really happened,” he said. “Get the real story. That’s our motto. And Gawker is the place to get it.” And yet that vision remains in the shadows of external pressures. Denton’s thoughts on Gawker’s future belie some of the hurdles that the company currently faces, such as the impending trial against Hulk Hogan over Gawker’s publication of a clip of the wrestler’s sex tape. Legal battles are costly — and, if Gawker were to lose, it could force Denton to sell a part of the company.
