When half of a media outlet’s editorial staff decides to jump ship, chances are it will be reported first on the media gossip blog Gawker — even, it turns out, when those departures are from Gawker itself.

In a posting Friday afternoon, Emily Gould, a Gawker editor, dropped the bomb: both she and Choire Sicha, the site’s top editor, were quitting. A third editor, Joshua David Stein, confirmed on Saturday that he was leaving, too. Gawker’s three remaining staff members were all hired within the last three months.

“Most of my frustration with the job is of my own making,” Mr. Sicha said by telephone on Saturday. “I’ve completely lost my taste for management, and the thing I realized is that the talent has all the fun.”

This will mark the second departure from Gawker for Mr. Sicha (whose name is pronounced Corey See-ka); he left in 2004 after a year and returned in February after a stint at The New York Observer. He said he did not have a new job lined up.
