Nick Denton
Nick Denton is a British-American entrepreneur and media executive best known for founding Gawker Media, a digital media company known for its provocative and often controversial content. Born on August 24, 1966, in London, England, Denton established Gawker Media in 2003, which included popular sites like Gawker.com, Jezebel, and Kotaku. Gawker gained notoriety for its focus on celebrity gossip, media criticism, and investigative journalism. In 2016, Gawker Media filed for bankruptcy following a high-profile lawsuit brought by Hulk Hogan, which led to the site's closure. Denton has since been involved in various media ventures and continues to influence the digital media landscape.
