Hey Man, I'm Supposed to be on the @*#&!! List!

It's no secret that our newsletters are quite popular with the bistro braintrust— there's nothing like that IGF (instant gratification fix) when you open up your inbox every morning and see of the Daily Media News Newsfeed, or Revolving Door, or one of our fabulous blogs. They're such a big part of your day, not getting them is like being deprived of air, water, or another one of life's necessities.

At least a couple times a day I will get a freak out email from someone who hasn't gotten the newsletter they subscribe to. This can happen for a couple reasons. For one, maybe you're not wearing your glasses, and the newsletter is right in front of you. Another reason may be that it found its way into your junk mail folder. Even if it hadn't gone in there previously, always check the junk folder. Especially if you're receiving your newsletter at work where all of your mail is likely checked at a higher level (server, not Jesus) before it makes it way to your inbox. The easiest way to make sure our emails don't go to your spam folder is to add mailer AT mediabistro.com to your safe senders list. Where is that you're asking? Every mail client has a different method for adding addresses to your whitelist. Luckily, we have instructions for some popular mail clients on our FAQ page.

When you've exhausted all these possibilities, and maybe a few others, there's another trick you can perform that almost always does the job. If you log into your account, go to Login and Email Lists. From there, go to the email lists that you subscribe to. For each one that's checked off, uncheck it, and then click the submit button. This will temporarily remove you from getting those newsletters. But settle down, chief— just simply re-subscribe by checking the ones you want and click submit again.

And just like that, you're popular back on the list again.
