Charter launches work tech newsletter

Media and research company Charter has launched “Work Tech,” a newsletter offering reviews of workplace tech products.

“Work Tech” will provide independent, research-backed assessments of tech and management tools being created for the workplace, from AI-powered transcription to virtual meetings platforms for remote work.

Charter partnered with Glenn Fleishman — a veteran tech journalist with three decades of product review experience — to develop “Work Tech.” The launch comes as Charter’s newsletter subscriber audience has just surpassed 95,000 subscribers.

“Work Tech” will be published on a weekly basis.

“The explosion of new services powering work over the past three years and the new wave of AI-driven apps convinced us that a new rigorous, trustworthy source was needed to make sense of what we all should be using,” said Kevin Delaney, Charter’s editor-in-chief and CEO, in a statement. “It has become clear that an important part of Charter’s mission of transforming every workplace to be more fair and dynamic is helping you to make technology decisions that make work better.”
