Gizmodo (/ɡɪzˈmoʊdoʊ/ giz-MOH-doh) is a design, technology, science, and science fiction website. It was originally launched as part of the Gawker Media network run by Nick Denton, and runs on the Kinja platform. Gizmodo also includes the sub-blogs io9 and Earther, which focus on pop-culture and environmentalism, respectively.
Following the Chapter 11 bankruptcy of Gawker Media, Univision purchased Gizmodo along with other Gawker websites in August 2016.[3] In 2019, Univision sold the Gizmodo Media Group, which included Gizmodo, to the private equity firm Great Hill Partners. From April 2019 to June 2024, Gizmodo was part of G/O Media.[4] In June 2024, the website was purchased by the European digital media company Keleops Media.[5][6]
