When you look at things that impact our national conversation…it used to be that you’d write an article for a newspaper and everyone would be talking about it. It would make a huge splash if you had an article in a magazine, Esquire or something. I’ve seen over the years that print is not what’s driving the conversation anymore. It is the Internet, and Gawker is at the center of it. When Gawker takes on a subject, people take notice and people have to respond to it. If you’re not just writing for yourself, if you’re writing to somehow penetrate the minds of others, then that’s something you have to take note of.
