The Nyirobi Letter
One essay, one comic, every Sunday morning
No noise, no algorithm — just the best of the week, chosen by hand.
One email a week. Your address stays with us, and every letter has an unsubscribe link at the foot.
- Every Sunday
- 7am in Nairobi
- One email
- Free, always
Four things, and nothing else
One essay
The week's best piece, chosen by an editor rather than by whichever one travelled furthest.
One comic
The new strip from the drawing desk, in full, while it is still at the top of the front page.
One film
Whatever the video desk put out, with a line on why it is worth the twenty minutes.
A note from the editors
A paragraph on what we were arguing about while we put the week together.
What we will not do with your address
Sell it, rent it, or pass it on
Not to a partner, not to a sponsor, not to an analytics service. There is no partner and there is no sponsor.
Make leaving difficult
Every letter carries an unsubscribe link at the foot. One click, effective immediately, no survey asking why.
Watch you read it
No open tracking, no click tracking, no pixel in the footer counting who got as far as the bottom.

The whole magazine is free to read without one, and the archive goes back to the first issue.
