Amazon plans to lay off at least 27,000 employees this year, including 9,000 announced in an internal email Monday morning. He has one unexpected victim. Digital Photography Review, also known as DPReview, has lost its entire editorial staff and the site will stop publishing on his April 10th.
New articles will continue to be posted until April 10, after which “the site will be locked,” according to an announcement post written by Scott Everett, DPReview’s general manager. It’s unclear what happens to the site’s content after that, and the post only promises that the site’s articles “will then be available in read-only mode for a limited period of time.” Photos and texts that readers have uploaded to their accounts can be requested and downloaded until April 6th. “Cannot complete the request after that”.
Former Site Editor Ganon Burgett said on Twitter The decision to lay off staff was announced in January, andAmazon hasn’t come up with an archiving plan yetCameras, even digital ones, tend to have fairly long shelf lives, and there’s an active second-hand market for lenses and camera bodies, and DPReview.com looks into older products when it goes completely offline. .
Founded in November 1998, DPReview is one of the few active review sites as old as Ars Technica. Amazon bought it in his 2007, and the site’s team has been based in Amazon’s hometown of Seattle since 2010.
