The format of the newsletter is still evolving — digital producer Nick Andersen explained some of our logic and hopes for the newsletter project in an interview here — but we also, as always, want to hear from you! What would you read in a newsletter? What kinds of things would you click, forward and share? Tell us at OnPointNPR AT gmail DOT com, in the comments below, or on Facebook, Tumblr and @OnPointRadio.
