After months of staff turnover, Bustle Digital Group has decided to pull the plug on its new version of Gawker before it has even launched. According to the New York Post, the site’s entire staff was laid off on Tuesday, and the September relaunch of the news and gossip site was called off. “We can confirm that we are postponing the Gawker launch,†a company spokesperson told the Post. “For now, we are focusing company resources and efforts on our most recent acquisitions, Mic, The Outline, Nylon, and Inverse.†The site’s new editor-in-chief, Dan Peres, who had been hired in March, was among those who were let go. “It’s no secret that we have faced a number of challenges from the start,†Bustle Digital CEO Bryan Goldberg told the Post. “We want to thank Dan Peres and the rest of the Gawker team who have worked tirelessly on this project. We’ve made a number of acquisitions over the last year and intend to focus our efforts on those brands.â€
