e-newsletters

Subscription email updates

E-newsletters are newsletters distributed by email rather than print.

Organizations use them to maintain contact with subscribers—sharing updates, promotions, or curated content on a regular schedule: Sign up for our weekly e-newsletter.

The term emerged as email replaced postal mailings but now sounds slightly dated, as most newsletters are digital by default.
