Austin Williams has
joined G/O Media as editor in chief of Kotaku, a digital media outlet for gaming, starting on Monday.
Williams previously worked at such entertainment outlets as
Complex Networks, Buzzfeed, BET Digital and Vibe Magazine.
“Austin understands the zeitgeist and how to mine it,” says Lea
Goldman, deputy editorial director of G/O Media, to whom Williams will report. “He’s a preternatural digital editor with strong commercial
instincts.”
Williams observes, “Kotaku has always led with a distinct voice and point of view, while also understanding that at its
core, it is fan-first.”
