ROCK CENTER WITH BRIAN WILLIAMS
NBC, 10:00 p.m. ET
From the beginning, this newsmagazine has made it a point to highlight individuals who have made an impact on the Internet, through either their videos and performances or their viral journalism. This hasn’t resulted in any measurable increase in the ratings – perhaps the YouTube generation just isn’t watching network TV in real time any more – but it has resulted in many solid stories. Tonight, Jamie Gangel visits Nick Denton, the founder of Gawker, the Internet site that uses snark, and even rumor, as some of the biggest weapons in its arsenal.
