theSkimm Statistics and User Count (2023)

TheSkimm is a digital media company that delivers daily email newsletters covering current events and lifestyle topics in a conversational and easy-to-understand manner. It was founded in 2012 by Carly Zakin and Danielle Weisberg, two former NBC News producers who saw a need for a quick and easy way for millennial women to stay informed about the news.

TheSkimm’s newsletters provide a curated selection of top news stories, often with a humorous or irreverent tone, along with recommendations for books, podcasts, and other lifestyle content. The company has expanded beyond its flagship newsletter to include a podcast, an app, and a membership program that offers exclusive content and perks.

TheSkimm has been praised for its ability to engage younger audiences in the news and politics, and has been credited with helping to increase civic engagement among its subscribers. The company has also faced criticism for its oversimplification of complex issues and for its lack of diversity in its content and staff.
