Politico to shift free newsletters to once/week

Politico announced Tuesday that it is moving its free newsletters to a once-per-week publishing schedule starting next month.

Subscribers will continue to receive the newsletters on a daily basis.

“Now is the time to take a fresh look at how we can better serve our readers with newsletters that are specifically geared to their needs,” said Politico in a statement. “We’ve learned that the information needs of our professional subscribers are unique, and we will serve all of our readers more effectively if we create offerings specially for their needs.”

The business-related newsletters moving to a free, weekly schedule on July 13 include Morning Agriculture, Morning Trade, Morning Transportation and Morning Tax.

Morning Technology will move to a weekly schedule in the fall.
