5 Newsletters We Can’t Get Enough Of

posted on September 8, 2020 | by Heather Bien

The well-curated newsletter is having a moment –– again. Climbing out from years of overflowing unread numbers and far too many promo emails, millennial readers have now resurrected an appreciation for news, stories, and brilliant finds delivered straight to our inbox. 

Perhaps it’s because we’re the generation of storytelling and insightful content marketing, but we can’t get enough of these smart and thought-provoking newsletters. Whether we’re looking for a new artist to discover, a rundown on breaking news stories, a budget-friendly dress to complete our pandemic wardrobe or fresh business tips, these are the newsletters that are a breath of fresh air each time we open our email.

Girls’ Night In: The newsletter that has embraced a lifestyle and sparked a community, Girls’ Night In covers mental health, self care, friendship, and everything that makes up the cozy life at home. You’ll find wise words from guest editors, wellness products, and tips on what you should be reading, watching, and listening to you on your next [girls’ night in].

Hitha On the Go: Hitha Palepu is a force in the world of female writers and creatives. She’s an entrepreneur, CEO, investor, former blogger, podcast host, and, of course, newsletter editor. Her #5SmartReads newsletter has been bringing curated news stories and articles to readers for several years and, now, this savvy businesswoman has expanded to include a paid annual subscription that brings daily commentary and discussion to well-read readers.

theSkimm: The newsletter that launched newsletters back into the forefront in 2012, theSkimm breaks down the daily news in a way that’s digestible and *skimmable* even before you’ve had your morning coffee. It’s quippy and intelligent, bringing you hard-hitting new stories in the same way you’d dish water cooler gossip –– but without dumbing it down.

Morning Brew: Want to stay up to date on business news? The Morning Brew is the daily newsletter that takes relevant financial, tech, and trending business stories and brings them straight to your inbox. You’ll be in the know on the markets and how decisions in the finance world impact pop culture, sports, and more.

Ann Friedman Weekly: If you go on the internet, listen to a podcast, or scroll through Instagram, you likely know Ann Friedman. She’s been hot on the press tour for her latest book, Big Friendship, written with Aminatou Sow, and making the rounds. But, we also love her weekly newsletter with its diverse range of reads from the heaviness of our current reality to lighter takes on life.
