A planned relaunch of snarky news and gossip website Gawker is on hold indefinitely, The Post has learned.
Bustle Digital Group, which owns Gawker, laid off the website’s entire staff Tuesday and called off its planned September relaunch, the company has confirmed.
“We can confirm that we are postponing the Gawker launch,” a BDG spokesperson said. “For now, we are focusing company resources and efforts on our most recent acquisitions, Mic, The Outline, Nylon and Inverse.”
The site’s axed staff included editor-in-chief Dan Peres, editorial director Carson Griffith, writer Nate Hopper and sales exec Amanda Hale.
