The newsletter opens with an overview of what's covered in the current week's issue, and then goes down to the main articles, which is followed by a job board. Now this may or may not be important in today's economy - as I don-t think anyone is getting jobs, but it-s helpful to know where work is.

Next the newsletter has a Recent Innovations Discussion section, which pulls top posts from the RealInnovation website's forum; the topics are general focused on the concepts and ideas that RealInnovation has gotten behind, but that's not a bad thing because they're looking to be on the cutting edge of what's innovative and important.

Then the newsletter has a Latest News & Press Releases section, which is basically links to news stories from across the web on innovation. This is a fundamentally crucial part of RI's Insights, because it does a great job culling sources of interesting information that enables your to skip the intensive search process in finding what people are saying, doing, and thinking about in the field of innovation.

Next is a section of upcoming Conferences and Training Events that will benefit those looking to network more and to hear first what the industry A-list is up to.

The final section is Commentary Focus, the requisite editorial piece that most newsletters have. This section is maybe the most interesting, as it poses a "have you thought about this" type of provocative question for the reader.

Real Innovation keeps a deep archive of their newsletters, so you can dig through the crates to research trends or just to see what's been happening over the last few weeks or months or years!
