This week, the San Antonio Report launched new layouts for two of its most-read newsletters. 
The new look for <em>The Recap</em> and <em>Daily Reach</em> aims to make these popular newsletters even more digestible, giving readers a better experience as they engage with the San Antonio Report&#8217;s local coverage. 
The new changes include layout and banner redesigns, with a subtle San Antonio street grid underneath each newsletter&#8217;s title. 
We&#8217;ve also added some new sections including The Big Number in Recap, with a new, short and sweet opening to begin each newsletter send, written by community engagement editor Morgan Severson. 
Here&#8217;s more about each redesigned newsletter&#8217;s timing and purpose: 
* The <em>Daily Reach</em> hits inboxes once daily at 6:30 a.m., with the morning&#8217;s top headlines. 
* <em>The Recap</em> publishes every Monday and Thursday afternoon/evening, catching you up on all the news you&#8217;ve missed.

These newsletter changes didn’t happen out of the blue. 
They happened after asking you, our readers, what you loved about our newsletters. 
Incorporating reader feedback is a big part of our community service mission, and we plan to keep it up. 
Right now, our Sunday morning newsletter is under construction, with plans to launch a whole new newsletter in the fall. 
Thoughts on what it should be?
