NBC News is launching a rebranded evening newsletter today, replacing its long-running First Read with a format that integrates broadcast and digital reporting on the campaign trail and in Washington, D.C.
The network’s team of political reporters will all contribute to a single, centralized product, with a wider focus on news and analysis from across the country.
The newsletter, From The Politics Desk, will appear each evening and will feature three sections: News of the day, analysis from the author and “must read” links throughout the day. It will feature analysis from a rotating group of correspondents and anchors, with Kristen Welker, Steve Kornacki, Chuck Todd, Jon Allen and Mark Murray serving as regular authors. Contributors will include Carol Lee, Sahil Kapur and others.
