5 Great Sources for Daily Media News

My coworkers were chatting about the free media headline newsletters we use. Figured I would share since some of them are pretty cool. Each of these sites shoots you an automatic email early in the morning with the top media news for the day. Reading them on your phone is a great way to kill time during a morning train commute and then you have the perk of showing up at the office sounding super smart and informed.
  1. CMO Today from The Wall Street Journal. It's a look at the day's most important stories of concern to media and marketing professionals. We get a free subscription to WSJ by being a Fordham student. (There's a spot under the right-hand column under the "Student" tab section our "my.fordham.edu" portal to show you how.) Side note: didn't know until subscribing that CMO stood for Chief Marketing Officer. Sign up here! (https://www.wsj.com/newsletters) 
  2. Cynopsis Media eNewsletterCynopsis is a collection of media news for industry professionals. Their main TV/media newsletter gets pretty in depth with ratings reports, executive hirings, actor casting announcements, new shows going into development, etc. (Note: Make sure to check the bottom box when you subscribe that says you want to "subscribe to specific emails" and then make your pick.) Sign up here! (http://www.cynopsis.com/subscribe/)
  3. Cynopsis Digital - Same sort of newsletter but focused primarily on what's happening in the digital media space. You'll see it listed as another option further down.

 Other Great Sources of News:
  1.  Deadline Hollywood - I don't think they have an newsletter, but they cover breaking entertainment stories. Check out their site or follow them on twitter.
  2. The New York Times Morning Briefing: Americas - They don't have a media industry specific eNewsletter, but it's my favorite resource for a brief overview of all the day's biggest stories worldwide at the top of the morning, and they some times do include some interesting media-related bits. Signing up is free and doesn't require a subscription. Do so here: http://www.nytimes.com/newsletters.
