All is not well in the house of Denton. We hear that just one day after media reporter Richard Morgan began at Gawker.com, he's already quit. Just yesterday, site owner and (new) managing editor Nick Denton made much ado about the Website's brave new image for 2008, including a role for Morgan covering the TV networks. But it turns out Denton's pledge to elevate more serious journalistic work on the blog wasn't as fulfilled as Morgan had hoped. "I believed what Nick said about making the site more reported, making it more mainstream, and, vainly, thought that's why he hired me," Morgan told us over IM just now.

Oh, MAN! If you've been programming or even just "in IT" any time in the past 15 years -- no, make that 25 -- you'll recognize the type of organization, and the type of boss. A few too many bucks too fast, and it goes right to their heads. Bravo to the guy to having the sense to figure it out in like a day, and not put up with it for months or years on end.
