POLITICO Europe has released a special podcast episode focused on Playbook Paris, its free daily newsletter covering French political life. Launched in February 2021, the newsletter has grown to roughly 60,000 subscribers.
Behind the scenes of a daily newsletter
In the episode, journalist Pauline de Saint Remy speaks with the newsletter's three writers — Elisa Bertholomey, Sarah Paillou and Anthony Lattier — about the day-to-day work of putting the publication together. The conversation covers how the team gathers information, manages relationships with sources, and approaches the writing process itself.
Recorded in front of a live audience
The episode was recorded on Thursday, September 24, in front of a live audience during the first-ever Playbook Paris summit. The public format gave listeners a direct look at how the newsletter's editorial team operates and a chance to hear from the people who produce it each day.
POLITICO invited listeners to subscribe to the podcast and share their feedback on the episode.
