Newsletter replies are read
The editor reads at least 50 newsletter replies per week across The Briefing, The Bench, and The Patio. Columnists read replies to their own columns. Reader-letter-of-the-week is a recurring surface in The Briefing. Subscribe and reply if you want the publication to know you exist.
What we do not respond to
A category of inbound reliably wastes time and gets a non-response. Knowing what we decline saves your time too.
We do not respond to: guest-post-for-link offers, link-exchange requests, paid-link insertion requests, mass press releases not aimed at our beat, “SEO partnership” pitches, “10x your content” offers, requests to remove negative coverage in exchange for ad spend, anything addressed to “team” rather than the publication.
Mailing address
For physical mail (review units, press kits, legal notices), the editorial address is published on request via [email protected]. We do not publish a public mailing address.
Subscribe to the newsletter
The fastest way to keep up with the publication and the fastest way to get the editor’s attention is to reply to a newsletter issue. Three newsletters with different intent:
