The Express has announced the launch of The Weekender, its new flagship newsletter designed to give readers a direct voice in the newsroom. The free weekly briefing will land in inboxes every Saturday morning starting June 27.
Editor's Exclusive Insight
Geoff Maynard, Editor of the Express, introduces The Weekender as a platform for trusted analysis on the week's biggest political and cultural shifts. Subscribers will receive a personal line to the heart of the newsroom.
Campaign Watch and Premium Preview
The newsletter includes a Campaign Watch section highlighting active journalism and investigations spearheaded on behalf of readers. The Premium Preview unlocks a curated selection of the finest premium-only stories each week, offering exclusive investigative journalism and deep-dive analysis.
Lifestyle and Reader Participation
Beyond news, The Weekender offers the best Express puzzles and lighter features for weekend downtime. The 'Your Say' section invites readers to join polls, ask questions, and submit a featured 'Letter of the Week,' putting reader perspectives at centre stage.
Part of a New Era
The launch marks the Express's most ambitious evolution yet, coinciding with the ten-year anniversary of the Brexit vote. The website is being rebranded with a modern design incorporating the Union Jack's diagonal lines and colours, symbolising a commitment to Britain's future.
According to Geoff Maynard, the Express has stood with hard-working Britons for over 125 years, championing British identity and campaigning for causes such as medical access for cystic fibrosis patients, dignity for veterans, and Brexit. The Weekender continues this tradition by inviting readers into the newsroom.
Sign up for The Weekender is free, and readers are encouraged to join the conversation and help shape the stories that matter to Britain.
