More Gawker Media news coming across the wire, err, feed reader. Simon Owen’s Bloggsam has published an internal memo from Gabriel Snyder regarding Gawker hiring a new West Coast Editor. From the memo: Ever since Defamer was merged into Gawker earlier this year, I’ve been looking for the right person to hire in L.A., so I’m pleased to announce someone who was worth the wait: Richard Rushfield is joining Gawker as its new West Coast Editor.

Bloggers: Punch Harder!
Last Updated on Sunday, 19 July 2009 06:47 Written by Thord Daniel Hedengren Sunday, 19 July 2009 06:47
Ryan Tate has the best post intro so far this year in the latest edition of Gawker-playing-Valleywag: Remember when blogs were going to be fiercely independent firebrands who, purified of old media insidery stench, would pull no punches against traditional power structures? So much for that. Today’s laptop media is shaping up to be nothing but lapdogs. The post is really about TechCrunch releasing those Twitter documents , and the rings on the water. I don’t care about that, old news, and really a lot of noise for typical journalistic behavior
The rest is here:

CBS Interactive has recruited blogger Richard Lawson from Gawker, according to Silicon Alley Insider who also has a quote from Lawson: I’ll basically be doing what I do now, just probably fewer posts a day plus some actual reviews and stuff. I’m excited/nervous/gassy. All that. Richard Lawson is one of the key entertainment writers on Gawker , and apparently averaged 2.4 million pageviews per month which is top of the bill according to the SAI story.

Gawker Media Traffic Sees 17% Increase In First Five Months 2009
Last Updated on Wednesday, 17 June 2009 03:29 Written by Thord Daniel Hedengren Wednesday, 17 June 2009 03:29
One of the good things with having your stats open in public, like Gawker Media has (using Sitemeter by the way), is that you can get others reporting on how much you grow. Like Simon Owens, who blogs at Bloggasm , and has been analyzing the stats, finding that the Gawker Media network ( BloodCopy not included , of course!) increased by 17% during the first five months of 2009. For the first five months of ‘09 the blogs showed a combined 1.4 billion page views, compared to 1.19 billion in the last five months of ‘09 — a jump of over 200 million. To conduct this survey I compiled page view data from Gawker Media’s Sitemeter stats from each of the blogs. The number of page views does not represent the number of unique visitors to a site, but rather the number of times a page was loaded. More numbers and analysis by Owens in the Bloggasm post . I guess Gawker Media could just link it, sit back, and save the money on that marketing rep who usually does these things.

Gawker’s Bloody Miss, A Hit After All?
Last Updated on Monday, 1 June 2009 05:10 Written by Thord Daniel Hedengren Monday, 1 June 2009 05:10
I’ve been watching the BloodCopy debacle for some time. BloodCopy is a new blog in the Gawker Media blog network, about vampired. Problem is, it is a big ad in itself, the whole blog is a HBO promo for the TV series True Blood . There’s disclosure , hidden away in the Gawker Media footer. There’s no “sponsored post” text or anything. The campaign is, at the very least, balancing along the edge of what is deemed OK within the blogosphere. We’d better get used to it.
