Writing
Write a newsletter issue
A researched issue with items worth the reader's time and a reason for each.
Fill it in
Who reads it and what they care about.
How many to include.
How it should sound.
Your prompt
Write one issue for [your for], 5 items. Voice: [your voice] Each item needs a reason it is here, in your words. A link with a summary is an RSS feed; the reason someone subscribes is the sentence saying why it matters to THEM, which is the one sentence an aggregator cannot write. Read the things before writing about them. A summary generated from a headline is wrong often enough that readers notice, and it is the fastest way to lose a list. Open with something that is yours: an observation, a change of mind, a small failure. That is the part people stay for. Cut anything you included because you needed a fifth item.

Why this works
A link with a summary is an RSS feed. The reason people subscribe is the sentence saying why an item matters to them, which is the one sentence an aggregator cannot write. It also reads the things before writing about them, because a summary generated from a headline is wrong often enough that readers notice.
