The Awl is a website about current events and culture based in New York City. The site was founded in early 2009 by David Cho and former Gawker editors Choire Sicha and Alex Balk.[1] The latter two continue as its current editors. It is published by John Shankman.[2]
The site employs an editorial staff of writers.[3][1][4][5][6]
The Awl has four sister sites, Splitsider, a comedy website, The Hairpin, a site geared toward women, The Wirecutter, a consumer electronics blog, and The Billfold, a blog with a focus on personal finances.[1]
In 2011, David Cho left the Awl, after 18 months, to join ESPN's new sports site Grantland.[7]
