Vanessa Grigoriadis on working for Gawker Media owner
Nick Denton: "Pinched nerves, carpal tunnel, swollen feet -- it's all part of the dastardly job, which at the top level can involve editing one post every fifteen minutes for nine hours a day, scanning 500 websites via RSS for news every half-hour, and on 'off-hours' keeping up with the news to prepare for tomorrow." IN RETURN: "Bloggers get to experience the fantastic feeling of looking at everything in the world and then having everyone look at them through their blog, of being both subject and object, voyeur and voyeurant." || Denton
comments on the piece, which says Gawker's ad hominem attacks and "piss-on-a-baby humor" far outstrip even Spy magazine's. || Reaction from
Jeff Bercovici and
