There's a reason why email is still a popular tool for professionals today – it works.
Publishers are using email newsletters to communicate with their audiences, not only to distribute their own content, but also to highlight interesting coverage from other news organisations around the world. For example Quartz now has 350,000 subscribers to its Daily Brief newsletter, and an open rate higher than 40 per cent.
