G/O Media has sold its tech news website Gizmodo to Keleops Media, a Paris-based European digital media company. This sale marks the eighth G/O Media property to be auctioned off since last March. Keleops Media, founded by Jean-Guillaume Kleis, has committed to retaining Gizmodo's entire editorial staff. G/O Media CEO Jim Spanfeller announced the sale in a company-wide email. G/O Media, which was formed in 2019 from the remnants of the Gawker Media empire, has been gradually selling off its portfolio, including the sale of The Onion in late April. The sale of Gizmodo is part of G/O Media's ongoing efforts to divest its assets.
