Things that interest the practitioners in those fields and have not yet made it

Oh my. Dozens. Here's a sample, in no particular order...
ResearchBuzz for anything to do with archives, databases, and datasets.
https://researchbuzz.me/
Anything to do with pensions (not sure why I started getting this, but
useful enough to continue)

There's the Morning Newsfeed for "today's top stories in media." Not
always a surprise, but worth noting what's happening in journalism.

and Muck Rack "where you can get a snapshot of what journalists around
the world are reading, thinking and commenting on right now. "

Related, confusingly, is Muck ROCK, which is FOIA-centric:

CodeProject's daily newsletter is wonderful. Not just because of useful
links (including occasionally to my own articles) but because the dude
who compiles it is delightfully snarky

MIT's Download is tech-related, but yeah I read it every day
https://www.technologyreview.com/newsletters/?utm_source=MIT+Technology+Review&utm_campaign=a08fc0bacc-The_Download&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_997ed6f472-a08fc0bacc-154304641
Also for web designers: http://www.webdesignernews.com/ (and its newsletter)
Futurity.org has a newsletter with research-related news
http://mailchi.mp/futurity/where-ovarian-cancer-begins-future-city-on-the-moon?e=f8b8eaec76
Similarly, https://newatlas.com
Publisher's Lunch for the publishing industry
https://www.publishersmarketplace.com/ and thus to
https://www.publishersmarketplace.com/lunch/subscribe.html
I read it primarily for the links to interesting articles about or
interviewing book authors
Similarly, Shelf Awareness "for readers," which has a lot of book promos
but also a section on "book candy"
Less interesting, but not ho-hum enough for me to unsubscribe: the
newsletter at Inbound.org for "growth hackers" and other inbound
marketing pros.
More general:
I still subscribe to the Digg.com newsletter. It isn't what it once was,
but usually has at least one item of note.
The Quartz Daily Brief, primarily for its "surprising discoveries"
section.
https://qz.com/daily-brief/?utm_source=dbfwdfooter&utm_medium=nl&utm_campaign=dbsignups&mc_cid=f839824791&mc_eid=e8c4dc170b
TheSkim, which is not "news for an industry" so much as a tl;dr of
what's happening in the world. It's my daily, "What madness did I miss
overnight?" startup every morning theskimm.com/?r=35673ed0

the bookend for which is Dave Pell's Nextdraft ... which, if nothing
else, makes me wish for his skill with a headline
