Hello Bee readers! We\u2019ve begun shifting our Sacramento Bee email newsletter lineup to provide you with more news, exactly when you want it: at 6 a.m., 7 a.m., 8 a.m., noon, 4:15 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. on weekdays.<\/p>\n
Throughout our industry, newsletters have evolved into digital front pages. Like newspapers, they curate top stories. Like newspapers, they get delivered, albeit to your inbox rather than your doorstep. The subject line is the equivalent of the top-of-the-fold headline.<\/p>\n
In all, we publish two dozen newsletters \u2014 four of which have huge, daily audiences: Capitol Alert A.M., Daily Morning Bulletin, Daily Afternoon Bulletin and Capitol Alert P.M. We have a sizable number of eyeballs on two other newsletters: Sports and what we used to call \u201cLocal News.\u201d Additionally, we\u2019re building new audiences for our weekly Bee Connected newsletters for Elk Grove<\/a>, Rancho Cordova<\/a>, Folsom\/El Dorado Hills<\/a>, Davis\/Yolo County<\/a> and Roseville\/Placer County<\/a>.<\/p>\n These newsletters \u2014 as well as periodic newsletters on food, state-worker happenings, living your best life in Sacramento and more \u2014 help us deliver you the hundreds of original stories we produce each month.<\/p>\n We hope you\u2019re reading these stories through our new-and-improved Sacramento Bee app<\/a>, or in our print and digital editions. But we also know some people want to periodically scan a list of headlines and choose what to read. So, in some newsletters we\u2019re eliminating or scaling back the introductory text. Others will continue to be bespoke.<\/p>\n We\u2019ve rolled out some of the changes already, with others to come on Tuesday. Here\u2019s how our lineup will look for readers who are signed up for the following newsletters. If you\u2019re not signed up, go to sacbee.com\/newsletters<\/a> to do so, or click on the links below.<\/p>\n \u2022 6 a.m. Capitol Alert A.M.: Fresh news from our 8-person political reporting team. \u2192 Sign up here<\/a><\/p>\n \u2022 7 a.m. Sports: The latest on preps, college and the pros, with a Sacramento-first focus. \u2192 Sign up here<\/a><\/p>\n \u2022 8 a.m. Daily Morning Bulletin: Top city, regional and statewide news, plus major breaking national and world news. (Previously sent at 6 a.m.) \u2192 Sign up here<\/a><\/p>\n \u2022 New at Noon: A revamped midday catch-up on what happened between early morning and lunch. (Previously sent at 8 a.m.) \u2192 Sign up here<\/a><\/p>\n \u2022 4:15 p.m. Daily Afternoon Bulletin: Fresh content and updates on the stories of the day. \u2192 Sign up here<\/a><\/p>\n \u2022 6:30 p.m. Capitol Alert P.M.: A roundup of politics, government and the State Worker beat. \u2192 Sign up here<\/a><\/p>\n A quick look at other key newsletter changes:<\/p>\n \u2022 Food & Drink \/ Bee Appetit:<\/a> We\u2019ve split what previously was one large newsletter into two! The regular Food & Drink newsletter will be sent at 1 p.m. on Wednesdays. Our second bite at the apple, called Bee Appetit, will go out at 1 p.m. on Fridays. Food & Drink continues to dive deep into Sacramento region dining spots and trends. Bee Appetit focuses on helping you experience the best morsels that Sean Timberlake and the rest of our food journalists are tasting.<\/p>\n \u2022 Bee Opinionated:<\/a> This recap of the work by the best columnists in town will go out at 9 a.m. on Sundays.<\/p>\n \u2022 La Abeja:<\/a> Our statewide newsletter geared toward Latino communities also will be moved to 9 a.m. on Sundays.<\/p>\n \u2022 Yuba-Sutter Weekly:<\/a> Our newsletter for loyal readers north of Sacramento will move to 9 a.m. on Tuesdays.<\/p>\n Finally, given the proliferation of Bee puns in our newsletter names, we\u2019ve simplified the title of William Melhado\u2019s The State Worker Bee newsletter to The State Worker<\/a>. The format of this newsletter won\u2019t change; you\u2019ll continue to get Melhado\u2019s thoughtful analysis of all the happenings affecting California government employees. His newsletter, among our most popular, will still go out each Wednesday, with the send time being pushed back one hour, to 9 a.m.<\/p>\n These changes enable us to better tell you the story of the day, all day long.<\/p>\n As executive editor, I hope you\u2019ll come along for the ride \u2014 and I welcome your feedback. You can email me at cfusco@sacbee.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n This story was originally published April 20, 2026 at 5:00 AM.<\/p>\n
