Gawker will be shut down by its owner Bustle Digital Group, its top editor announced Wednesday on Twitter.
“Well, after an incredible 1.5 years, BDG has decided it is done with Gawker 2.0,” editor-in-chief Leah Finnegan tweeted. “Can’t say enough about how proud I am of the site and all the brilliant people who worked to create it, and what a staggering shame this is. I had an absolute blast, and I love you.”
BDG did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
