After days of tumultuous internal debates that included the resignation of two top editors, CEO Nick Denton has announced that the company plans to relaunch Gawker.com on Monday, according to Digiday — and the company could change its name, too.

Gawker's tumultuous week is all thanks to a controversial post that accused a married rival media executive of seeking out the services of a male escort.

Gawker was hit with a flurry of criticism when the post was published. Denton ultimately decided to take the post down.

A vocal camp inside Gawker's editorial department went bananas at the post's removal. To them, this seemed like a media company folding to external business pressures, with editorial boundaries being crossed by the management team. Members of the business team were among the executives who advised Denton before the post was removed.

Denton has now spent the past week meeting with the editorial staff, trying to explain the changes he sees necessary for the company. Now it seems he is ready to package all of this into a formal relaunch, scheduled to happen Monday morning, Digiday reports.

Even more interesting is that Denton is considering changing the name of the company. "We produce a lot of drama," he told Digiday. "And sometimes, we become the story. We don't want Gawker.com to be limited by the needs of the company. And there is a strong argument for a company name that is not the same as Gawker.com."

What will the new Gawker look like? Capital New York reports that Denton is saying it will most likely be "20% nicer."

What that means in reality remains to be seen. That is, until Monday.
