Newsletters sure are tough to pitch. Many lack bespoke content. Many are assembled by managing editors or junior folks with scant domain expertise. Others are columnists impervious to suggestion. Every now and again you’ll find someone pitchable, such as...
If you're looking for pitchable deep expertise in the IT infrastructure space, you can still find it in Packet Pushers, a team of podcasting publishers who celebrate their tenth anniversary this May. Freshly posted on their site is the 500th episode of the Heavy Networking podcast.
There must be hundreds of newsletters out there with more arriving all the time. How does one get a grip? This cheat sheet will help. It's a master list of where these newsletters live. Use it to identify and subscribe to the ones most relevant to you.
