How to use: Industry Newsletters

Have you ever wondered how you can keep up with news in different sectors without feeling too overwhelmed with too much information? Every week we curate topical industry newsletters from credible sources to help you stay informed on, learn about and confidently discuss current affairs.

What you get

We currently host:

• This Week In: Education
• This Week In: Public Health

We curate weekly news because it gives us time to shape our opinions and provide a resource to help you do the same. That way, consuming news becomes an active process.

Our newsletters feature unique sections that educate you on different public interest issues over time. We innovate a complementary way of thinking about and using the news while reading it.

In today's very connected world, there is no shortage of information sources, but we know content overload makes it harder to hear your own voice amidst public opinion. Imagine what you're thinking will be a month from now.

What you see

We've carefully designed the structure and flow of all our newsletters to ensure you enjoy reading & learning at the same time. For once, you can actually look forward to the news!
