Air Mail is a digital weekly newsletter launched in July 2019 by former Vanity Fair editor-in-chief Graydon Carter and former New York Times reporter Alessandra Stanley.[1] Private equity firm TPG Capital served as Air Mail's majority investor.[2]

The New York Times announced the launch of Air Mail, calling it a weekly newsletter for "worldly cosmopolitans."[3] The weekly's writers include Alessandra Stanley,[4] Michael Lewis,[5] William D. Cohan,[6] and others.

In 2022, Air Mail published a list of The "Downtown Set", 50 New Yorkers in the arts and culture spheres living and working in Lower Manhattan. The feature included black-and-white portraits by James Emmerman.[7]

In October 2023, Air Mail published an investigation titled The Grift, the Prince, and the Twist[8] written by Hannah Ghorashi and George Pendle, involving Amar Singh and Liza-Johanna Holgersson. In an opinion piece, GLAAD award–winning LGBTQ journalist Karen Ocamb claimed the publication had inaccuracies.[9][10] The Mail article was also disparaged in the opinion of Renée Cox in the online arts magazine "forum for serious, playful, and radical thinking" Hyperallergic.[11] Air Mail did not retract the article.[8]
