I've come to enjoy a few daily/weekly newsletters from independent reporters on specific topics that are too often under-covered by major media outlets. I wrote about one of these, HEATED by Emily Atkin, a couple of months ago. HEATED is currently free and published by Atkin four times per week, but moves to a pay-for model in December 2019. HEATED will still be delivered once per week for free, but to gain full access you need to pay. This makes sense as Atkin can't do this for free! HEATED is very well written, completely focused on climate change, and a newsletter that I have no qualms paying for. It's important we support quality journalism!
A new newsletter that I have really enjoyed is Power Plays! by Lindsay Gibbs. Power Plays! focuses on gender quality, and the lack of it, in sports. I joined with the first issue and am very impressed with the work Gibbs has put in to highlight how far too often women's sports and women in sports are not at all treated equally with men's sports and men in sports. Currently Gibbs publishes three times per week and I look forward to each of her issues. Power Plays! will remain free for now, but similar to HEATED, will move to a pay-for model in the near future.
I highly encourage you to check out Power Plays! There is no doubt you will learn something and be angry that women are still treated as inferior to men in sports in 2019.
