Crain to start Raleigh-Durham email newsletter next week

Crain Communications, which runs weekly business newspapers in Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit and New York, plans to launch a daily email newsletter for Raleigh-Durham readers.

In an email to local residents, executive vice president K.C. Crain writes:

Every day, our team of editors will curate business news and information from thousands of sources — every Crain publication and a very wide variety of local, national and industry content publishers — and then we’ll deliver it to you first thing in the morning, Monday through Friday.
And best of all, it’s free!
If you want to receive Crain’s Raleigh-Durham, simply do nothing. It will begin arriving next week. If you don’t want to get the newsletter, please unsubscribe using the link below.

Rival American City Business Journals publishes a newspaper called the Triangle Business Journal in that market. In past years, Charlotte-based ACBJ had started online publications in Crain markets such as Chicago and New York.

Crain has launched similar email newsletters in ACBJ markets such as Denver.
