Denton Sells Consumerist To Consumers Union

Nick Denton and his Gawker Media blog network have sold one of their blogs to the group who produce Consumer Reports. The Consumers Union has bought Consumerists – a site that championed shoppers’ rights and highlighted corporate wrongdoing. Although it gained a large audience under Gawker stewardship, it failed to fit in with the networks plans (and maybe their revenue model) and therefore offered it up for sale back in November 08.
