# Newsletter and Update

## Overview

Newsletters compete for attention. They succeed when they are relevant, scannable, and respectful of the reader’s time.

## When to Use

- Internal company or team newsletters
- Product or customer updates
- Stakeholder digests
- Community or membership communications

## Principles

- Lead with the most important or interesting item
- Keep sections short and clearly headed
- Use a consistent structure so readers know what to expect
- Include a clear purpose for each item (inform, celebrate, ask, link)
- Make links and calls to action obvious
- Edit ruthlessly — shorter is usually better

## Useful Patterns

- Top story / headline item
- Quick wins or highlights
- Deep dive or featured topic
- Upcoming dates / asks
- Short closing note

## Verification

- [ ] A busy reader can get the key points by skimming headings
- [ ] Each section has a reason to exist
- [ ] Calls to action are clear
