NEW YORK — Longtime technology news and review site Gizmodo has been sold for the third time in the past eight years, this time to a European publisher looking to expand its coverage of the digital scene.
Switzerland-based Keleops didn't disclose how much it paid for Gizmodo in its Tuesday announcement of the deal. Gizmodo was part of a $135 million deal in 2016 when Univision Communications bought its previous owner, Gawker Media, after that company filed for bankruptcy in the fallout from a losing legal battle with former professional wrestler Hulk Hogan.
'This and other increases in valuation stand as strong testament to the work of not only our editorial teams but also the core other areas of our operations,' wrote Spanfelle, who said the deal includes a commitment to keep Gizmodo's staff intact.G/O Media recently sold The Onion to tech executive Jeff Lawson, who became a billionaire after founding online business software provider Twilio.Lawson is asking Onion readers to donate $1 to help support it financially.
