👋🏻 Welcome to Newsletter Examples, where I highlight the formats, strategies, and best practices of leading newsletters to help you improve your newsletter.

Example 1: Tell stories of shock and awe ✅

Expert Witness is full of publicly available court documents—cat nip to a former investigative reporter like myself. The author, an anonymous physician, reviews one case a week, offering insights to thousands of doctors and expert witness physicians.

Example 2: Help people make (or save) 💸 ✅

Example 3: Avoid walls of text ❌+✅

Example 4: Highlight expert opinions ✅

Hope you enjoyed this week’s examples. I’ll be back next week with a new set!

P.S. I’m taking my own advice on surveys and doing one right now! Last week I guest edited The Sunday Long Read, including a list of 5 of my must-read newsletters. What are 3-5 of yours? Take this brief survey and let me know (and YES, you can vote for your own!). I’ll share the anonymized results next week…
