What We’re Reading
We keep an eye out for the most interesting stories about Labby subjects: digital media, startups, the web, journalism, strategy, and more. Here’s some of what we’ve seen lately.
Washington Post / JK Trotter / Dec 12, 2017
“What remains of Gawker now, following Thiel’s successful effort to ruin it after it published a story declaring that he was gay, is a corporate estate under the supervision of a bankruptcy court. Six of the websites that made up Gawker Media were purchased at auction by Univision last year, but Gawker.com and its published stories were left behind as assets for future liquidation. That leaves the possibility that someone will buy the site’s archive, delete it and use copyright law to force the removal of any remaining copies online.”
