Scoops, breaking news and the post-blog world: Maybe Mr. Denton’s on to something

I have my issues with Nick Denton, but I have to say one thing about the Gawker CEO: he knows a thing or two about online audiences.

Next to Her Highness, Ms. Huffington, Denton is the leading revolutionary in online news. His blog network might be the web equivalent of a supermarket magazine rack, but he’s running circles around traditional media.

His latest move is the Gawker redesign. The new site (still in beta testing) will display a single “top” story in a main panel while links to other stories sit in a feed on the right side.
