Newsletters can be done by a person for a family, a group, or an organization. A newspaper is by a publishing company and created for an entire community.


Newsletters are often just written in a Word Processing Document and Xeroxed, or created on an office printer, rather than truly printed. Newspapers use automated printing press machinery; some still use the printing press.


Newsletters have a short run--- perhaps 25 to a few hundred copies. Newspapers have long runs of thousands of copies.


A newsletter contains one to several pages only. A newspaper usually contains many pages separated into full sections; each section contains at least 4 or more pages.

A newsletter might be printed only at certain times, such as once a month, or once every quarter. Most newspapers today are daily.


Newsletters usually do not contain much, if any, advertising. Newspapers sell lots of ad space.


Newsletters rarely have certain sections, such as Obituaries, Death notices, Funeral Notices, Cards of Thanks, Memorials, or Want Ads. Newspapers generally contain these as regular sections.


Newsletters may have only one writer, or several writers. The newsletter creator acts as the Editor. Big newspapers have Staffs of writers and Editors.


Most newsletters do not, generally, cover World, National, or Local News. They do cover news items specific to that family, group, or organization. For example: Grandma/Grandpa's anniversary. Or a group's activity calendar. Newspapers typically always carry World, National, and Local News items, along with human interest local stories. Newspapers report on Community Events.


Newsletters rarely have "Letters to the Editor". Many newspapers feature "Letters to the Editor".


Newsletters are often given away or sent to a membership list free to the reader. Newspapers have a set price and are widely available for purchase.


Newsletters often die out quickly. Newspapers continue for many years, some nearly 200 years as one company though the owners have changed.
