EnglishWhat newsletters does Arkansas Times offer?
Updated
Arkansas Times offers five newsletter options, all listed under the "Sign up for our newsletters" section of its homepage: Daily Update, Weekly Wrap-Up, Events, Breaking News, and Midterm Elections 2026. You can sign up through that section on arktimes.com. The site describes the newsletters as delivering "top stories, highlights of local entertainment and breaking news in your inbox," so the choice mostly comes down to how often you want email and whether you care about a specific topic like elections.
The newsletter options
| Newsletter | What it's for (based on the site's own description) |
|---|---|
| Daily Update | Top stories, sent on a daily cadence |
| Weekly Wrap-Up | A once-a-week roundup of top stories |
| Events | Highlights of local entertainment and things to do |
| Breaking News | Time-sensitive news alerts |
| Midterm Elections 2026 | Coverage tied to the 2026 midterm contests |
The site also lists topic guides alongside these sign-up options — Visitor's Guide, Bike Arkansas, Nurses Guide, and Arkansas Wild — which function as subject-specific entry points rather than email newsletters.
How to sign up
- Go to arktimes.com.
- Find the "Sign up for our newsletters" block on the page.
- Enter your email address and select the newsletter(s) you want — the options are Daily Update, Weekly Wrap-Up, Events, Breaking News, and Midterm Elections 2026.
- Submit the form. Expect a confirmation email before the subscription becomes active.
The expected result is that the selected newsletters start arriving in your inbox at their stated cadence (daily, weekly, or as news breaks).
What you'll actually get
The newsletters draw from the same coverage the site publishes: Arkansas politics and the 2026 midterms, Little Rock news, dining and entertainment, medical marijuana, health care, and equality issues. Recent homepage stories give a sense of the mix — a gubernatorial debate report, a piece on Elon Musk's midterm donations, a study naming Hendrix the best overall college in Arkansas, and a Food & Culture story about the Hairpins co-founders leaving the state. If that range matches your interests, the Daily Update or Weekly Wrap-Up is the broadest starting point; pick Breaking News or Midterm Elections 2026 if you want a narrower feed.
Common snags
- Confirmation email doesn't arrive. Check spam or promotions folders; sign-up forms typically require confirming your address before delivery starts.
- Too much email. If daily feels like a lot, the Weekly Wrap-Up is the lower-frequency alternative.
- Topic-specific interest. There's no separate newsletter for food, music, or medical marijuana — that coverage arrives through the general Daily Update and Weekly Wrap-Up, or you can read it directly on the site.
Subscription vs. newsletter
These are separate things. The site has a Subscriptions page at arktimes.com/subscribe, and "subscribe" and "subscription" appear as pricing signals on the site — but the available information doesn't state what a subscription costs or what it unlocks. Signing up for a newsletter is a distinct action from subscribing, and nothing in the site's description says newsletter sign-up requires a paid subscription. If you only want headlines by email, start with the newsletter form; check the Subscriptions page directly if you need to know what a paid subscription includes.
