Long-running Gawker vs Hulk Hogan legal battle ends

The shell of US celebrity gossip site Gawker has settled with Hulk Hogan for 31 million dollars, ending a long-running court saga over a sex tape which saw Gawker.com shut down.

The legal battle with the wrestling star led to the media company's bankruptcy and the sale of Gawker's other sites to Spanish-language broadcaster Univision.
