Tried doing a newsletter in my final year of highschool, around the time of the 2008 financial crisis.
Got a couple classmates and a few bemused teachers signed up, and once a month wrote up 500 words talking about what was going on in our small little town.
Turned out to be a precursor to my career in journalism. But still, it's an obsolete method of news. No one wants to click an email to see a wall of text anymore.
Dunno about that. I subscribe to several newsletters. Dave Pell puts out NextDraft almost every weekday. https://nextdraft.com/. Also available on a website and via an iOS app.
There are several others I subscribe to, not all of which release daily (though I wish some of them did). So "no one" is the wrong term to use here.
