From what pool is the weekly newsletter created?

Question

I just got the meta weekly newsletter and lo and behold the top questions from the past 2 hours are on the Top new questions this week: list.

Shouldn't some older questions have priority?

They are from the last hour?!

Does the newsletter algorithm assume that the user is not online?

If so, what pool of questions does it see as Top?

@random that is true. but hot for the whole week? – amanaP lanaC A nalP A naM A Nov 29 '11 at 17:54 — amanaP lanaC A nalP A naM A, Nov 29 '11 at 17:54

Newsletters use the week sort to get "top new questions".
