Heather Cox Richardson Offers a Break From the Media Maelstrom. It\u2019s Working.<\/strong> <\/a>— from nytimes.com by Ben Smith
\nShe is the breakout star of the newsletter platform Substack, doing the opposite of most media as she calmly situates the news of the day in the long sweep of American history.<\/em><\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

Last Wednesday, I broke the news to Heather Cox Richardson that she was the most successful individual author of a paid publication on the breakout newsletter platform Substack.<\/p>\n

Early that morning, she had posted that day\u2019s installment of \u201cLetters From an American<\/a>\u201d to Facebook, quickly garnering more than 50,000 reactions and then, at 2:14 a.m., she emailed it to about 350,000 people.
\n…
\nThe news of her ranking seemed to startle Dr. Richardson, who in her day job is a professor of 19th century American history at Boston College. The Substack\u00a0leader board, a subject of fascination among media insiders, is a long way from her life on a Maine peninsula \u2014\u00a0particularly as the pandemic has ended her commute \u2014 that seems drawn from the era she studies.<\/p>\n

Writers can choose whether subscriptions are free or paid; the minimum charge for paid subscriptions is five dollars a month or thirty dollars a year, and Substack takes ten percent of all revenue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
