Superteam Malaysia Monthly Newsletter (June)

Track Overview

Over the past few months, Superteam Malaysia has grown tremendously from a single chapter (Superteam Malaysia Pop-up) to more than 20 active members across the country. This track is exclusively for our members & contributors all around Malaysia to share the impact that SuperteamMY has had on their work & life.

All we ask is that you round up our June events, with your own twist.

• Topic and Research: The quality and relevance of the chosen topic to the theme, originality of thoughts and content, and the depth of research.

• Writing Style: Your newsletter should ideally be very easy to read, well-structured with clear topics, well-referenced, concise, yet packed with insights.

• Data and Infographics: Diagrams explaining your concepts/analysis and data/charts backing your rationale.

• Virality: Efforts put into marketing your essay, the feedback received from the community, and the overall reach of your Twitter thread or post. Are you 'writing in public,' i.e., are you discussing your topic on Twitter or rallying the community around the topic you are writing about?
