community newsletters

Neighborhood information circulars

Community newsletters are periodic publications distributed to residents of a neighborhood, members of an organization, or participants in a shared interest group.

They typically contain local news, event announcements, and updates relevant to their audience.

Once primarily printed and mailed, they now often arrive by email: The community newsletter mentioned the new park hours.

The format ranges from informal one-pagers to polished multi-page productions.
