bulletins
Brief official updates
Bulletins are brief official announcements or news reports, typically issued by authorities or organizations to inform the public: a news bulletin, a weather bulletin.
The word suggests something timely and important—information that can't wait for regular channels.
Bulletin boards display posted notices, whether physical corkboards or online forums.
To bulletin is to announce via bulletin, though the noun dominates.
