Gabriel Snyder, the former editor in chief of Gawker, has been hired by
Newsweek as executive editor of the magazine's digital unit, reports
The Wall Street Journal. Snyder is credited
with turning Gawker from a gossipy site to a source of news and information. Snyder was fired from Gawker when Gawker Media acquired Cityfile and gave his job to Remy Stern, Cityfile's founder.
