Following a July 4th weekend shakeup that included the ousting of a pair of editors, Gawker Media this morning unveiled redesigns of Gawker and Gizmodo. The redesign — dubbed by the company’s managing editor, Lockhart Steele, as “Gawker Widescreen” — includes bigger fonts, images, a cleaner look and a “top stories” section that has become common among frequently-updated blogs.

FishbowlNY’s Gawker Shakeup Coverage:

  • Gawker Managing Editor: Media Coverage ‘Will Remain The Core of What We Do’
  • Oxfeld’s Final Gawk Post: To ‘Everyone I’ve Mocked From This Perch: Denton Made Me Do It’
  • Denton On Gawker Shift: ‘Like a TV Network, We Have to Back Our Hits, And Clear Out Our Schedules Of Less Popular Shows’
  • Gawker’s Denton: ‘Better to Sober Up Now, Before the End of the Party’
  • Oxfeld On Gawker Tenure: ‘I Was Brought In Explicitly To Bring Gawker Back To Its Original Inside-Media Mission, And I Think I Did That’
  • Gawker To Focus ‘More On Pop Culture And Less On The Media’?
  • Oxfeld Out In Gawker Shakeup
