the monthly editorial exclusively for Skimm’bassadors

HALL OF FAMERS

September Issue, 2016

F R O M S K I M M H QWe recently launched Skimm Studies, a new product that offers an inside look into what our audience thinks about some of the biggest topics in the news. Our first study? Elections. And many of you took part in giving feedback on the survey or filling it out. Much appreciated.

T E L L M E A S TO RYR E S O U R C E S Y O U N E E DFirst, we almost threw up on Trevor Noah when we went on The Daily Show to talk about the election and voter registration. (Spoiler alert: we didn’t). Then celebs like Reese Witherspoon, Lena Dunham, and Julianne Moore tweeted about #SkimmtheVote. Over 85k people (and counting) have registered to vote through the site. And now we have gifs for every state to remind everyone their deadlines.
