[font size=5]Dear Gawker Readers, Commenters, Tipsters 
and Writers
, Might We Interest You in Something a Little Different?[/font]
.... So this has inspired us to actively court that audience . In fact, we are now looking to hire at least one new writer who could do original media reporting/gossip in a Gawker-esque style — in its best sense of fearlessly taking readers behind the scenes of the media world . So if you always aspired to write for Gawker (or even umm are now) please apply for the position here.
And like Mediaite, Gawker also has had a vibrant comment section teeming with a mix of witty, biting and sometimes just obnoxious regular commenters who we hope will consider spending some time sparring with our regular crew of partisans, belletrists and trolls.
To be clear there’s no dancing on the Gawker grave here. Despite some fundamental differences in how we do business, no one on the editorial or business side, has ever expressed a modicum of glee in Gawker’s demise at the hands of Peter Thiel. Nor will we ever seek to recreate Gawker here at Mediate. But they did a lot of things we would be proud to add to our mission. They also created a devoted audience we would be crazy not to seek out (as well as the tipsters. . . here is the link for you!)
So in the spirit of a good comment thread we look forward to reading below all the reasons Gawker readers would never, ever set eyes on a site like Mediaite. PS you are welcome to return to remind us again and again.
