Today’s a sad day in the IT news world: The H is closing down. For the last few years it has been an excellent source of IT news in the fields of free and open source software, security and software development, or as it said in its own words: “The H brings you the in-depth coverage of the world of IT, communications, data security and the politics of technology.”
Earlier today editor DJ Walker-Morgan (aka Codepope. Ed.) posted the message below on The H’s website.
Although The H has produced many widely read stories, it has not been possible to effectively monetise that traffic to produce a working business model.
Because of this, after four and a half years as The H and six years online, The H is, sadly, closing its doors. We thank all our readers for their deep interest and engagement. Work is taking place to create an archive to ensure that the content of the site will remain publicly accessible.
Best regards
DJ Walker-Morgan and the entire team at The H
The H was produced in association with Heise Online, a major German IT news site and one I’d recommend.
So farewell, The H and thanks for providing quality news for the last few years and best wishes for the future; you’ll be missed.
