Gawker Media Now Bigger Than All Newspapers Online -- Except One (The Awl)
The latest traffic memo arrives from Gawker Media honcho Nick Denton. In it, comScore shows that his network of sites is bigger than any newspaper online but The New York Times. That being said?

But they are all increasingly in our business."

The New Hollywood Reporter: 'Team Janice' and ... Everyone Else (TheWrap)
The outward changes at the new Hollywood Reporter have led to an estrangement inside the newsroom -- between Janice Min and the staff she has brought in, and the veteran journalists who take orders from the newbies and are otherwise ignored.
