Daily broadsheet or weekly digest: which is better for publishing news?
A daily broadsheet is for following stories as they break; a weekly digest is for catching up once a week. The Publishing Times offers both free: the website is updated every day, and the Weekly Dispatch email arrives every Friday.
The daily broadsheet
The Publishing Times website is laid out as a daily newspaper. The news wire and desk stories are updated every day, with each wire item linked to its original source. Use it if you track platform changes, deals or prize announcements as they happen.
The weekly digest
The Weekly Dispatch is a free email sent every Friday with the week's top publishing stories and editorials. Use it if you want one read a week instead of checking dozens of sites.
Using both
You can skim the Friday Dispatch and open the daily wire only when a story affects them. Sections such as Amazon KDP and literary agents narrow the daily feed to one beat.
