Newsletters push content at busy people. Newsletters
summarize stories until all the juice is squeezed out of them.
Newsletters try – and generally fail – to make their presence felt in
inboxes that are filled with an average of 121 business emails each
day. As of 2012, newsletters take up 29% of the space in an inbox,
more than any other type of email. More than social alerts. More
than one-to-one emails. More than receipts and other transactional
emails.
