As I prepare for a lecture about newsletters for my Columbia University class next Monday, I have asked some of my smart, well informed and news savvy friends for the name of their favorite newsletters, the ones they don’t ever skip as their day starts.
The results of my informal survey are interesting: their favorites are my favorites in almost every case, but I have also discovered some that are quirky, interesting and worth taking a look at.
Everyone loves these
Almost everyone on my list of about a dozen friends contacted had these as newsletters that they simply can’t live without:
The New York Times
CNN”s Reliable Sources
The Washington Post
Axios
The more local/regional one
The Los Angeles Times
Two I never miss
The New Yorker
By the way, The New Yorker is now introducing a newsletter devoted to the Global Crisis.
Quartz
One that takes user’s time into account
The Economist
One I could get used to….
Wake-Up Call with Katie Couric
Two interesting ones I had never heard about
QZY
No Mercy/No Malice
