Each edition of the newsletter “takes a particular visual or type of visual and breaks down its construction and associations, so as to better understand why it has the effect on us that it does.” Whenever Show and Tell lands in my inbox, I immediately click on it and keep it open over the day to read over and over again.įrom the archives : About the travel photograph, Making of an image Her interest in semiotics led her to a gap that we aren’t taught to ‘read’ images and thus understand their power. Nithya Subramanian’s Show and Tell is an infinite pleasure read. You will find letters that inspire you to understand visuals and imagery, or go on a virtual shopping spree or even disrupt dinner plans. Here are some of the best internet newsletters that I find myself opening very frequently, and actually reading and not bin-ing. In Nilanjana Roy’s words, “My inbox chimes with the arrival of newsletters from a few favourite authors, and this grey and shivery day is instantly brightened.” From email bulk-send to Tinyletter to the rise of the phenomenal Substack, newsletters are here to stay. They feel fiercely personal when they land in your inbox with words from someone, a friend or a stranger, telling you marvelous things. Newsletters always have a more special charm than say blog posts or an opinion piece. Forget labels here, they are great reads!). I have a special affinity towards literary newsletters and they top the charts of my most opened newsletters, but I also found myself frequently hooked to these culture newsletters (some are literary-ish too. They are very very good and I think you might love them too. The newsletters mentioned below mostly tiptoe on culture and related topics. I began listing 5 favourites and now the list has grown to 16. It feels silly to give a disclaimer that this list is too short to feature every single awesome newsletter out there. Or perhaps I should have titled it as the best culture newsletters to subscribe?Īs all lists usually are, this is a personal list from the many wonderful newsletters out there in the big internet world. This is what led to this compilation of the best internet newsletters to subscribe to. I also began to notice patterns in the kind of newsletters that I gravitate towards-mostly the ones that tell/feature a good story or give me a dozen cool links to check. As I examined my interests, I realized I do not open many of the popular (this list features some big newsletters too, btw) newsletters. I neither had the time and sometimes my interest in a topic would’ve dimmed few weeks after I subscribed. Few months ago, I realized I subscribed to more newsletters than I could read. Current affairs, profiles, exclusive interviews you name it, I’ve got my name on the subscriber list. It is really easy to make me subscribe to a newsletter.
