I have never been particularly interested in reading news articles, but I absolutely love the ‘5 things you need to know in the news’ emails I get from linkedin each week. They vary from strategies to use in the workplace, exciting research, and the latest buzz surrounding start ups. We get so many automated emails these days, from mailing lists, facebook, goodreads, what these people are up to, what you’re friend likes, 50% off this book etc. but this is one of the only ones I actually save and read. If you have a linkedin account I highly recommend taking a look at these emails.
