Pitchfork Media's film website The Dissolve has come to a quiet end, according to an announcement posted by its Editorial Director Keith Phipps:
For the past two years — well, two years this Friday — it's been our pleasure to put up this site, a site founded on and driven by a love for movies, alongside a company with passion and talent for creating thoughtful, important work. Sadly, because of the various challenges inherent in launching a freestanding website in a crowded publishing environment, financial and otherwise, today is the last day we will be doing that. We've had this opportunity thanks to Pitchfork, which has been incredibly supportive of our vision. We couldn't have asked for a better partner. [The Dissolve]
