Subject
Kestrel Weekly: Week of 6 July 2026

Preheader
3 stories from the desks this week, and what everyone else read.

Usage guidance

Make it fit the send.

  • The stories are a list of desk, title, summary, reading time, link and an optional graphic. A story without a graphic renders as text, so one edition can mix both, and an edition of three stories and one of six share a source.
  • The editor's note is input: the reader's name, the edition label and number, the editor's name and the note itself. The most-read list is a second list of title and link. The section headings, button and footer are editable copy.
  • It is written for Kestrel, a fictional newsroom. Replace its mark and the data-desk graphics with your own, and restyle through the theme tokens in starter.css. Point the archive link at your own edition page.
