For three years, Pressed reached thousands of Canadians with its popular daily email newsletter and social media community. Loyal readers know Pressed for its witty tone of voice and concise explanation of complex world issues.

With a commitment to expanding the reader experience, Daily Hive recently introduced channel-specific newsletters that deliver customized content to readers directly from the writers and editors creating it.
