The thought seems to be that you need to read only what Air Mail commissions or chooses to reprint. The stories are mostly original, but some are syndicated from British outlets like The Times of London and The Guardian. (Sadly, it doesnвЂ™t come with an Annie Leibovitz photo of either of them posed at a desk or in an easy chair.) The issues link out to about 30 pieces of content a piece, hosted on the Air Mail site-another break from the online newsletter format, which is usually readable wholly within an email client. Then thereвЂ™s an introductory letter from either Carter or his co-editor, Alessandra Stanley, who is better known from her controversial years as the TimesвЂ™ television critic.

вЂњYou can always view the latest edition by going directly to our website.вЂќ So itвЂ™s aвЂ¦ blog?Д®ach вЂњissueвЂќ begins the same way-with a news recap, like HarperвЂ™s вЂњWeekly Review,вЂќ but rather than ironic, itвЂ™s labored and humorless, like a late-night TV hostвЂ™s opening monologue. вЂњThe Saturday morning emails are simply a reminder that a new issue has been published,вЂќ it informed readers. Air Mail, however, tells its readers that itвЂ™s not actually a newsletter. Media has seen an explosion of newsletters lately, from AxiosвЂ™s bullet-pointed briefings to SubstackвЂ™s economy of personality-driven e-mails by individual writers. The newsletter received backing from private equity firm TPG Growth-which also has stakes in Vice Media-and already has 15 full-time employees and 32 names on its masthead. ( The New York Times recently boasted nearly 3.8 million digital subscribers.) Air Mail also presold prominent banner ads from the likes of HermГ©s, Ralph Lauren, and the construction materials company Standard Industries, following the traditional CondГ© Nast model of subsidizing subscriptions with high-end advertising to cover elaborate production costs. Its slogan is вЂњFor the world traveler,вЂќ and its header advertises вЂњbest of the news from abroad,вЂќ delivered every Saturday at 6 am.ДЄn annual subscription costs $50, piggybacking on the rise in online subscription media products.

Carter has described the publication as вЂњthe weekend edition of a nonexistent international daily,вЂќ a sort of floating style section covering subjects like chГўteau renovation, vacation destinations, and accessory recommendations, with enough foreign reporting, true crime, and literary criticism to give it heft. Air MailвЂ™s first issue landed in inboxes July 20, its branding a stately all-caps sans serif, its logo a heraldic vintage airliner midflight, and its colors a Vanity FairвЂ“esque red against a paper stock manila background.
