This is Behind the Blog, where we share our behind-the-scenes thoughts about how a few of our top stories of the week came together. This week, we discuss an exciting revamp of The Abstract, tech betrayals, and the "it's for cops" defense.
EMANUEL: Most of you already know this but we are expanding The Abstract, our Saturday science newsletter by the amazing Becky Ferreira. The response to The Abstract since we launched it last year has been very positive. People have been writing in to let us know how much they appreciate the newsletter as a nice change of pace from our usual coverage areas and that they look forward to it all week, etc.
First, as you probably already noticed, The Abstract is now its own separate newsletter that you can choose to get in your inbox every Saturday. This is separate from our daily newsletter and the weekend roundup you’re reading right now. If you don’t want to get The Abstract newsletter, you can unsubscribe from it like you would from all our other newsletters. For detailed instructions on how to do that, please read the top of this edition of The Abstract.
