Nick Denton Quotes

Critics say Internet advertising suffers from limitless inventory, which depresses prices. These exclusive front-page sponsorships are not limitless. If HBO doesn’t move quickly enough, Showtime can buy out Gawker and Jezebel for the key fall TV season. On any individual day, there isn’t room for both of them; and that’s healthy Picture Quote #1

I think straight couples have a schedule: You’re together for two years and then there’s the ‘where is this going?’ question, which wouldn’t necessarily be good for everyone, but I think it’s pretty healthy for relationships, for there to be a presumption that there is a decision to be made Picture Quote #1

My background is economics and maths. I think one of the reasons I studied humanities at all, or even went into journalism, is because, like, science and maths wasn’t cool in England when I was growing up. No one ever talked to the engineering students at Oxford Picture Quote #1

The idea of harnessing the intelligence of the readership has been lost in the quest for Facebook likes. For many, readers have become synonymous with hateful commenters. It’s time for a renewed push to realize some of the original dreams of the web Picture Quote #1

It’s no wonder that new ventures such as The Daily look first to Gawker Media when staffing up. We should not wait for a poaching expedition to pay someone what they deserve. I apologize if that has been the case and will do better in 2012 Picture Quote #1

I’ve never really understood people who climb socially by sucking up. It seems like the least efficient way to climb, and also the most psychologically debilitating Picture Quote #1

Three-quarters of our sites - Kotaku, Gawker, Jezebel, Deadspin, Gizmodo, Lifehacker - are led by editors who built their careers within Gawker Media. That’s the career path Picture Quote #1

Forget about someone’s resume or how they present themselves at a party. Can they blog or not? The blog doesn’t lie Picture Quote #1

The original idea of blog publishing was that writer and reader would be on the same level. That it would be a conversation - not a lecture. People lost sight of that. We didn’t. Kinja is designed to break down the walls of the ghettos. So that everybody - editor, writer, source, subject, expert, fan - can be a contributor Picture Quote #1

I have to come to terms with the paternalism of American business. Companies are expected to take on so many social responsibilities which are the province of the state in Europe Picture Quote #1

Henry Blodget does occasionally have a new idea. If you’re making a point about aggregation or the emptiness of modern journalism, he’s far from the best target. Try Huffpo - or Gawker writers whose souls have been corroded by irony Picture Quote #1

Google and others truncate headlines at 70 characters. On the Manti Teo story, Deadspin’s scoop fell down the Google search results, overtaken by copycat stories with simpler headlines. Deadspin’s headline was 118 characters. Vital information - ‘hoax’ - was one of the words that was cut off Picture Quote #1

Apple makes beautiful products. I own a Mac Pro, a Mac Book, a Mac Mini, an iPad, an iPhone, pretty much the entire collection Picture Quote #1

Ben Smith’s quick-hit campaign ‘scoops’ are about as viral as cat videos. That fits with Buzzfeed Picture Quote #1

No picture, no footage, no story. The people these days require some visual evidence in order to believe what they read Picture Quote #1

Google demotes search results that don’t get clicked on Picture Quote #1

Your writers write these pieces about meaningless startups, meaningless apps and meaningless companies Picture Quote #1

I want to institutionalise and automate chequebook journalism Picture Quote #1

An employer would be a complete fool to let an image like college partying influence their hiring decisions Picture Quote #1

That’s always been my test for what makes a story: is this something journalists would gossip with each other about? Picture Quote #1

Personally, as a print journalist, I always found the most interesting stories to be the ones hacks talked about in the bar after work Picture Quote #1

I don’t really mind playing tabloid monster. I always liked those characters in the old movies Picture Quote #1

Superior writers, videographers and other content makers want to work with their own kind and for their own kind Picture Quote #1

Forget about someone’s resume or how they present themselves at a party. Can they blog or not? The blog doesn’t lie Picture Quote #1
