# Newsletters: data, AI and tech newsletters worth reading

> A directory of 34 newsletters on data, AI and tech (independent ones such as Import AI, Interconnects, Latent Space, The Pragmatic Engineer, Stratechery and SemiAnalysis, and company ones such as The Batch and TLDR), with each one's author or publisher, platform, free or paid, measured cadence and topics, and a feed of their latest issues, by fru.dev.

Each newsletter has its author or publisher, platform (Substack, Beehiiv, Ghost, Buttondown or its own site), access (free, free and paid, or paid; measured weekly from Substack's public archive, else from the subscribe page), subscribe and archive links, how often it sends (issues a month over the last six months, measured from its archive), a status (active: an issue in the last 45 days; paused: 45 to 120 days; stopped: longer) and its topics. Each issue has its title, date, newsletter and a link to the original; nothing else is copied. Topics come from fixed keyword rules, not a model. Feeds are read weekly, Tuesdays at 13:15 UTC. 672 issues are on file, 485 from the last 90 days. Last successful refresh: 2026-09-24 14:50:27 UTC. Newsletters starting or stopping, going paid or free, moving platform and changing cadence are kept in an append-only change log.

Disclaimer: Issue titles, dates and links from each newsletter’s own public feed or archive; every issue belongs to its author and links to the original. Logos via logo.dev; trademarks belong to their owners. People are shown by initials, never a photo. Corrections: use Suggest a correction on any page.
