Gawker

Gawker is a celebrity gossip blog that posts roughly 50 articles a day. What is interesting about this blog is that its content varies from trivial celebrity gossip to news worthy insights into topics like the Iraq war. In doing so, Gawker appears to be arguing that celebrity gossip is equally as important as real news. Despite this fact, the blog also publishes content which has contributes nothing to the world, and literally kills brain cells as you read it. For example, one post describes a man who had the worlds largest collection of bellybutton lint. Having content like this makes the argument that celebrity gossip has no real value or newsworthiness.
