three stations are acquiring the assets of Gothamist and some of its associated sites, including LAist, DCist, and DNAInfo. The deal was spearheaded by Gothamist founders Jake Dobkin and Jen Chung, and is being funded by two anonymous donors who have contributed an undisclosed sum to acquire the brands.
Many details of the integration remain to be worked out. WNYC plans to bring aboard Gothamists founders the publisher Jake Dobkin and the editor Jen Chung and a number of other Gothamist editors, who will work with WNYC journalists to relaunch the site, Mr. Schachter said.

Gothamist Properties Will Be Revived Under New Ownership: Public Media
The deal to revive the sites was driven by Gothamist's founders, Jake Dobkin and Jen Chung, Wired reports. Dobkin told the magazine the acquisition was "the best possible outcome" after the sudden shutdown of the sites in early November.
Jen Chung and Jake Dobkin founded Gothamist in 2003 and built the New York City blog into a profitable international company. Ricketts bought Gothamist in March 2017 as DNAinfo, which operated in New York and Chicago, remained in the red.
