Jezebel, Gawker, etc. New Layout

Nieman Journalism Lab online reported on February 7, 2011 about the new layout that Gawker, Jezebel, Lifehacker, Deadspin (and all the other sites affiliated with Gawker Media) went through. Some readers are still having trouble accepting it and some didn't even notice it.

Nick Denton is the entrepreneur who created Gawker Media, and he tells Nieman Journalism Lab's Megan Garber that this entire change was "inevitable." Well, most people are used to Facebook always changing its layout, but after being so used to the old Gawker Media layouts this came as a shock that was a bit confusing at first.

It was recorded that the first few days after this change the page views for all the sites, but as people get used to the layout it should improve.

The article on Nieman Journalism Lab is really good to reference and it would just seem terrible to copy and paste everything from there - so make sure to check out that article for information about Gawker Media possibly going on television, etc.
