The Washington Post launched a technology newsletter on Tuesday called The Technology 202, covering the intersection of technology and policy.

Authored by technology policy reporter Cat Zakrzewski, the newsletter will have original reporting and analysis on key issues including White House and Congressional technology initiatives, news from key regulators, privacy, industry lobbying, AI and technology culture.
