I’m in Maryland USA. There are two non-profits that cover Maryland news and send daily newsletters. The county executive (chief executive person for the county) sends a weekly email with various county service news, and the county council sends regular emails. Of course this stuff is self-promoting but it does let me know what is happening as press coverage at this level is minimal at best. The parks send a weekly mail with events, as do other local agencies. Most government agencies around here do this and they usually have sign up links at the bottom of every webpage, in the pile with all the other links that don’t get noticed much.
Unfortunately it seems to me the big newspapers like NY Times are intent on sending mails with daily commentary and “analysis” rather than just high-level digests. I do get digest emails for my work - Washington legislative stuff that doesn’t get a lot of public attention - and those are much more useful than the “analysis” NY Times likes to send; I really wish they would do more of a straight daily news summary.
C-span also has a great daily email with video clips from the day - just politicians in their own words, rather than “analysis” which always just means commentary and opinion. The Economist does some commentary in its daily emails but it’s brief and has a good survey of world news and it’s always worth reading.
