I can see why newsletters caught on and RSS didn’t. Most people will never download a dedicated app to read news and take the time to set it up, but everyone has email. That doesn’t change the fact that I personally prefer an RSS reader to keep up with the news and another to manage my email.

The problem for people like me is that a lot of the best content out there is only available as a newsletter. Fortunately, there is a compromise of sorts. Most newsletter services offer an RSS feed, but if they don’t, you can usually just create your own.
Most of the major newsletter services—Substack, Buttondown, Ghost, and BeeHiiv—offer some sort of RSS feed. And in the case of both Buttondown and BeeHiiv, the feed is generally easy to find—just look for the “RSS” option in the header. Click that to open the feed, which you can copy into your RSS reader of choice.
Other newsletter providers, including Substack and Ghost, do not advertise the RSS feed in this way, but they do offer a feed. The easiest way to find the feed for Substack and Ghost newsletters is to go to the newsletter homepage and add /feed to the end of the URL. For example, if you want a feed for https://annehelen.substack.com , you can find it at https://annehelen.substack.com/feed . Copy that and paste it into your RSS reader.
