Gawker Founder Defends Journalistic Merits of Sex Tape

WWD: Gawker Media founder Nick Denton defended his company’s journalistic right to post a video clip of Terry Bollea, aka, Hulk Hogan having sex with his former best friend’s wife. Denton testified before a St. Petersburg, Fla., jury maintaining that it didn’t matter if Bollea was filmed without his knowledge; Gawker had the First Amendment on its side. “Doing the job of a journalist would be unbearable if one was to always put oneself in the shoes of a subject.”
