16 | M R EP O RT FEATURE Looking Back at More Than a Decade of MReport As MReport prepares to become MortgagePoint next month, we take a look back at our past decade-plus of covering the mortgage lending marketplace. By David Wharton MReport magazine was first founded in 2011, launched as a spinoff and sister publication to the longer running DS News, both published under the umbrella of the Five Star Institute. While DS News provided in-depth coverage of the default servicing sector of the mortgage ecosystem, MReport would focus on the "front half" of the industry with coverage spotlighting lending and originations. In April, that long history will enter its next chapter as both DS News and MReport merge into one new publication: MortgagePoint. This change, in the works for some time now, reflects the realities of how interconnected both these aspects of the mortgage market and our readership have become. MortgagePoint will continue DS News and MReport's commitment to covering every aspect of mortgage and housing, just as we have for the past few decades, but now unified under a single masthead and editorial strategy. We can't wait to show you what's next. But first, we want to take a moment to honor the legacy that brought us here. Just as we're doing in this month's DS News, we will revisit some of the more noteworthy and memorable issues of MReport that we've brought you over more than a decade of reporting.
