Extra Credit is a weekly curated digest of great journalistic writing from all over the web. Journalism should inform and stimulate, yet so little does. Extra Credit saves you the chore of separating the good from the bad and brings you a selection of only the best every week.
The Syllabi website presents curated selections of informative writing from around the web. Each entry focuses on a particular theme or subject and aims to inform or stimulate the reader.
Extra Credit is a bonus weekly digest of stand-alone reading for supporters of the site and curious readers. It collects some of the week's most informative and stimulating writing on a variety of matters, a selection of the week's best longform writing, and a bonus themed list of articles and delivers it directly to the reader's inbox.
Syllabi was started to improve on the recently popular model of arbitrarily linking to longform writing. Having curated such a site for 3 years, I wanted to improve on the format by providing context and further reading. I want to provide a resource that not only helps curious readers find more substantial reading but also helps them to better understand it, get a more comprehensive view, and find some relevant related reading.
