Nick Denton Runs a "Slave Shop," Oxford Chum
Jason Pontin Declares
Gawker Media chief Nick Denton is "profoundly
talented....kind of bitchy"....and gets by
with things he shouldn't. But he does it in
a sufficiently Oxonian way so "you don't feel
too dirty," says Jason Pontin, editor and
chief of Technology Review and New York Times
business columnist.
Pontin is a former writer for Denton at the
Isis magazine at Oxford, where the two
studied in the 80's.
Pontin is appalled by the compensation terms
under which Denton's writers toil, calling
the operation a "slave shop."
Nonetheless, he is a big fan of his former
college editor and his product. But he notes
that the quality of Gawker properties has a
direct relation to the personal attention of
Denton.
These days, Denton is taking a direct role in
Gawker, which has had some set backs
lately, Porfolio.com's Jeff Bercovici wrote
today. Recently, Dan Fost wrote how
difficult it is for star editors to maintain
quality across expanding media properties.
