Tokyo has an energy to it that even New York can’t match. There are bars and late-night bars and post-last-call, doors-locked, locals-only bars. On one particularly memorable evening, a true all-nighter, our correspondent Jake Emen veered from dinner and drinks to hours of blurry karaoke and then straight to Tsukiji market in an attempt to witness the morning’s fish auctions.

When you wake up in the morning, what’s the first thing you do? If you're honest, it probably involves grabbing your phone and scrolling. But increasingly, the day doesn’t just start with a few minutes of bleary-eyed Reels or a quick glance at the weather app — it begins with sorting through fresh newsletters that landed in your inbox just minutes before your alarm goes off.

Newsletters aren’t exactly new, but as other media formats have fallen by the wayside, they’ve become the go-to source for people to get their news, follow their favorite personalities, and engage with culture as a whole.

This seems ironic, given endless discussions about AI noise and hypersensitive algorithms that shorten attention spans to no more than 15 seconds. But the signs are there, and for everyone with a sincere heart and an insatiable curiosity: the newsletter is bigger than ever.

The problem with this revelation? A saturated ecosystem makes it easy to miss out on some of the best, most exciting newsletters. To address this, we’ve carefully curated a list of newsletters we subscribe to regularly and believe you should subscribe to as well. After all, we know a thing or two about delivering stellar email content straight to inboxes everywhere.

You may notice some of the biggest digests and daily summaries are missing from our list. We're not trying to create the ultimate newsletter ranking but rather, as the kids say, put you on to all the stuff that should be filling your inbox — and probably isn’t.

Covering everything from culture and music to news, sports, and wellness, we’ve scoured our own inboxes to ensure this list has something for everyone. So ready that email address, and get scrolling — you’ve got a lot of good reading ahead of you.

From business and tech to politics and culture, the best content on the internet can be found in your inbox
