    The NewsRun, a daily newsletter about Pakistan, cuts through the noise of a cluttered media market

    Anti-Racism Daily is a newsletter that helps you read the news and do something about it
    “People tend to get very outraged when there’s a death, when something terrible happens in the news, and then the conversation caves. But in the wellness community — in the world that I work in — people are really familiar with the idea of practice.”

    From newsroom to newsletter: How local journalists are DIYing important coverage via email
    Just as blogging allowed a new cadre of journalists to work outside established news organizations in the early 2000s, the email newsletter boom has done the same in local communities. “This is more than 40 hours a week for far less than minimum wage. To be frank, it’s exhausting. I only do it because it’s so important.”
