The news brand launches a new weekly newsletter from its opinion desk, as its newsletters reach over five million unique subscribers.
Called ‘Matters of Opinion’, it is a place for writers to give a sense of the thought processes and conversations that shape their outlook on the world — whether that be the war in Ukraine or Taylor Swift’s engagement.
Every Saturday, the newsletter will feature a Guardian columnist, writer or editor on what they are thinking about, watching and reading, and how that helps form the comment pieces that enthuse, infuriate and inspire audiences in print and online.
Head of newsletters Toby Moses said: “Opinion sections have a long history of notebooks and diaries — a place where writers can talk about the things that caught their eye, that give the readers an insight into who they are, how their minds work, and the conversations happening in the newsroom. They were building engaged communities long before social media made connecting writers with readers a part of everyday life.
“We hope this newsletter will give audiences a glimpse into how we work, new perspectives on the stories beyond what is able to be covered in the Opinion pages, and a chance to have conversations with their favourite writers about what they’ve been reading and thinking about too.”
