5 email newsletters worth reading

One reason I like writing email newsletters is that I also like reading them. Last month, a few folks asked me which e-newsletters I regularly read — not the ones I subscribe to, but those I actually read.

Here, in alphabetical order, are my top five:

1. ArtsJournal — A fascinating roundup of stories on media, publishing, visual art, music, and the world of ideas. Daily and weekly.

2. NBER Digest — Brief but comprehensive summaries of the most interesting and important new economics papers. Monthly.

3. SmartBrief on Workforce — For HR nerds only, this e-zine has lots of great links about talent, organizational behavior, and management. Daily.

4. Springwise — An amazing roundup of new business ideas and surprising business models from around the world. Daily and weekly.

5. Very Short List — A book, a film, a DVD, a TV show, an album that you probably haven’t heard of and probably should. Daily.

Got e-newsletters that you enjoy?  Let me know about them and I’ll publish a list of reader picks.

BTW, if you’d subscribed to our own (irregular and irreverent) newsletter, you’d have received the above list a week ago.

    Brainpickings is a wonderful weekly newsletter for all things interesting, curated from the ‘collective consciousness’ of the net.

    Startup Digest is a pretty good one for all things startup, but it’s mainly focused on Tech

    Thanks for sharing some of your favorite news letters! I added some to my Google Reader 🙂 Besides the fact that those are all good sources, I think it’s important in reminding us that we should each have a go-to list of our favorites as a manageable way to keep up with news and trends. Thanks Dan!

    I second Andrea’s comment and have recommended the newsletter list and your newsletter of course, to my trainees. Thanks for helping me be a real resource.
