Deadspin Sold and Staff Gutted as G/O Media Sells Site
TL;DR Summary
G/O Media has sold Deadspin to Lineup Publishing, a European media company, which will not retain any of Deadspin's current staff. The decision to sell was made by G/O Media's board of directors, and the new owners plan to take a different content approach regarding the site's overall sports coverage. This move comes amid criticism of G/O Media's CEO, Jim Spanfeller, for his handling of Deadspin and other former Gawker Media properties. The gutting of Deadspin follows the closure of other G/O Media outlets and the sale of LifeHacker.
