An abrupt end of the Nat Geo Your Shot website announcement has stunned fellow photographers. The news broke five days ago and appeared on site that it will be discontinued on Oct 31st, 2019. All the activities will shift to the Your Shot Instagram Account.
According to Variety, Disney recently acquires NatGeo from 21st Century Fox. This will affect 70 to 80 National Geographic employees. But the good news is National Geographic flagship magazine will continue to operate.

“As of October 31, 2019, the current Your Shot platform will be discontinued, and all engagement, assignments, and promotion of photos from our community will occur on National Geographic’s Instagram Your Shot feed,” reads the message. “We are excited about the move to Your Shot’s Instagram, as the community on that platform is over 2 million strong. This change will enable a robust continued conversation about photos and visual storytelling before and among a large and engaged audience.”
