Hello Quartzy readers!
I’m addressing you midweek with some exciting news. As of today, Quartzy is no longer just the name of the newsletter that lands in your inbox each Friday. It’s also a new edition within Quartz’s website, focused on living well in the global economy.
As you know from the newsletter, the Quartzy approach to lifestyle is about more than just how we spend our money; it’s about how we spend our time, energy, and attention. We’re concerned with the evolving idea of luxury—whether that means a Gucci handbag, a bunch of organic kale from the farmer’s market, or the moment when we put away our devices to sit down with family or friends over dinner. It’s also about the little things that make our lives better: game-changing cocktail recipes, packing tips, and wardrobe maintenance methods among them.
The site will be edited by Indrani Sen (who also edits the newsletter) and our new lifestyle editor, David Kaufman. We’ve also expanded our reporting staff, hiring Annaliese Griffin to report on food, Rosie Spinks on travel, and Noël Duan on fashion and beauty. And you’ll find many of the usual suspects from Quartz’s existing culture and lifestyle coverage: Marc Bain on fashion, Anne Quito on design, Adam Epstein on TV and film, Thu-Huong Ha on books, and Olivia Goldhill on philosophy and psychology. (I’ll be there too—and will continue to land in your inbox on Fridays!)
And if you really can’t get enough Quartzy, find us at our new Instagram and Facebook pages—and while you’re on Facebook, say hey to our new Quartzy bot, your friendly cultural companion.
Thank you for subscribing to Quartzy. We’re so excited to bring you this expanded coverage. Check out the new site, keep in touch to tell us how we’re doing, and have a great day!
Until Friday,
