Jossip has the details on how Chris Mohney, the creator of the Gawkerist blog, wound up as the editor of Gawker Media's Gridskipper travel blog. Mohney explains on Mediabistro how he landed the blogging gig:

"The 'stunt' I pulled was writing an anonymous blog called Gawkerist that paid an absurd level of attention to Gawker Media blogs and bloggers. Everything about Gawkerist was meticulously, cynically planned, except the end result—actually working for Gawker Media publisher Nick Denton... Since New York media types were always interested in Gawker Media (albeit sometimes begrudgingly), it seemed like a logical topic to attract their attention."
