Ratter Tabloid News Site Shutters Citing Gawker Trial

Newsweek: Ratter, the tabloid-style media enterprise founded by ex-Gawker editor A.J. Daulerio, is shutting down indefinitely — and possibly for good. The site hasn’t published a new story or tweeted in more than a week, and Daulerio said he’s putting it on hold as Gawker Media, whose founder Nick Denton is an investor in Ratter, deals with wrestler Hulk Hogan’s $100 million lawsuit. “We are gonna take a little break until after the Hogan trial.”
