I think it's worth sharing the announcement from DPReview itself [0] just for it's puke-making spin on "We've all just been sacked"

Dear readers,

After nearly 25 years of operation, DPReview will be closing in the near future. This difficult decision is part of the annual operating plan review that our parent company shared earlier this year.

The site will remain active until April 10, and the editorial team is still working on reviews and looking forward to delivering some of our best-ever content.

Everyone on our staff was a reader and fan of DPReview before working here, and we’re grateful for the communities that formed around the site.

Thank you for your support over the years, and we hope you’ll join us in the coming weeks as we celebrate this journey.

I've been a DPReview reader for many years now. It's a shame to see the site go. But, to be honest, it's been pretty moribund [content-wise] for a while now. Smartphone cameras have swallowed up most of the market for point-and-shoot and hobbyist photography and there's only so many articles you can spin out on the latest eye-wateringly expensive pro-releases or custom Leica offerings.

PS: Why submit AN Other website's announcement that DPReview is shutting down, rather than DPReview's own announcement of same? Y'know "primary sources" and all that.
