Protocol’s leaders explain its closing

Protocol president Bennett Richardson and executive editor Jamie Condliffe write about closing the tech news site after more than two years of publishing.

Richardson and Condliffe write, “As of today, we will not publish any more stories. All of our newsletters, apart from our flagship, Source Code, will no longer be sent. Source Code will be published and sent for the next few weeks, but it will also close down in December.

“Building this publication has not been easy; as with any small startup organization, it has often been chaotic. But it has also been hugely fulfilling for those involved. We could not be prouder of, or more grateful to, the team we have assembled here over the last three years to build the publication. They are an inspirational group of people who have gone above and beyond, week after week. Today, we thank them deeply for all the work they have done.

“We also thank you, our readers, for subscribing to our newsletters and reading our stories. We hope you have enjoyed our work.”
