In 2026, we will celebrate our 45th anniversary and the 30th anniversary of Headlines!
For almost thirty years, we’ve provided the only free, reliable, and non-partisan daily digest that curates and distributes news about universal broadband, while connecting communications, democracy, and public interest issues. While newsletters are having a moment, we had to take ours to celebrate this milestone and our almost 8,000 issues!
"Among the many things I am grateful for Benton's Headlines newsletter is the timing and the accessibility. When my son goes upstairs to finish getting dressed, I have a glorious 10-12 minutes to read the newsletter which gives me just enough time to skim headlines and absorb 1-2 articles of interest or relevance. It has become so commonplace in our mornings that my 11-year-old daughter calls it the “Benton 10” as I often share an insight or two on our walk to school."—Andrew Butcher, President, Maine Connectivity Authority
Tom Wheeler, former Chairman, Federal Communications Commission: "I LOVE your Daily Digest! Rely on it to keep informed."
Leon Wilson, Chief of Digital Innovation and Chief Information Officer, Cleveland Foundation: "Your daily digests are beneficial, in-depth and informative. The content and breadth that you all share and cover on a daily basis is short of remarkable. I am always walking away more informed and find myself saving/retaining darn near every single daily digest into a special inbox folder."
To help keep Headlines free, please consider a gift to the Benton Institute for Broadband & Society
