Simple instructions for ending corruption


Gawker Media Sites

Who to contact
Owner: Nick Denton (owner of Gawker Media)
Contact: His twitter and Email.
Your Strategy: Let him know what his writers have been up to and that you and many others intend to email the sponsor of any gaming related content about it (the site has a content sponsorship system).
Site: Kotaku
Editor in Chief: Stephen Totilo
Contact: Refuses to take disciplinary action against his writers who have been shown to violate the sites ethical standards. Contacting him is futile. Contact his boss instead.
Writers:
Nathan Grayson Slept with one of the people he promoted on the site
Luke Plunkett
Patricia Hernandez Promoted at least one of her girlfriends using the site
Evan Narcisse The Article: The Problem With 'The Casual Cruelty' Against Women in Video Games
Yannick LeJacq The Article: "Calling the derision of Anita Sarkeesian rational debate is an insult to both her and the idea of debating ideas."
Your Strategy: Inform their sponsors that the writers on this site have been known to promote their lovers and friends and their games under the guise of honest journalism. That Stephen Totilo has done nothing to stop this. That a number of them have been insulting the gaming public for whom they write and comparing them to terrorists as well as donating money to people they review. Finally, let the sponsors know that the site took part in a coordinated PR stunt to write articles attacking gamers as a response to a demand from the gaming public for writers with conflicts of interests to recuse themselves. They did so with the rest of Gawker Media and that this had alienated you as a reader. Insist action is taken. Also inform Stephen Totilo that you have sent those emails.
Site: Jezebel
Editor in chief: Emma Carmichael
Contact: Her twitter and Email (Pointless, giant dyke-bag feminazi)
Your Strategy: Let her know what is going on and that you and others will be informing her boss and her sponsors.
Writers:

Your Strategy: Let the sponsors know that the site took part in a coordinated PR stunt to write articles attacking gamers as a response to a demand from the gaming public for writers with conflicts of interests to recuse themselves.

Site: Polygon
Editor in chief: Christopher Grant
Contact: His twitter and Email
Your Strategy: Inform him of what has went on and that you will be contacting both the owners of VOX and their sponsors along with others.

Ben Kuchera The Article: Developer Zoe Quinn offers real-world advice, support for dealing with online harassment
Your Strategy: Ben Kuchera wrote an article promoting a game dev (Zoe Quinn) that he is supporting on a monthly basis.
