The First Thing newsletter is introducing a new feature: a photo gallery showcasing images submitted by its subscribers. This initiative, running from June 20th to June 26th, 2026, aims to increase engagement and foster a sense of community among readers. The newsletter is actively soliciting photographs from its subscriber base for inclusion in the gallery. Details regarding submission guidelines and the gallery’s theme have not been disclosed. This marks a shift towards more interactive content within the First Thing newsletter format. The gallery represents an effort to personalize the newsletter experience and highlight the perspectives of its readership. It is anticipated this feature will be a recurring event, building on the initial week-long showcase.
