7 E-Newsletters All Communicators Should Subscribe to

Digital marketing expert Ann Handley doesn’t start her day checking emails, choosing instead to spend her time by writing a few pages in a notebook.

“I write for myself before I do anything else,” she says.

However, when she does get to her inbox, she goes straight for her favorite e-newsletters — which aren’t limited in subject matter to marketing and storytelling.

Here are a few of her must-read picks:

1. CB Insights — This media favorite shares news and data on emerging industries, venture capital, startups and innovation.
2. Recruiting Brainfood — WorkShape.io co-founder Hung Lee is behind this popular talent acquisition newsletter.
3. Further — This weekly email offers hand-picked health, wealth and personal growth resources for Generation X.
