FAQS

Purpose:

Newsletters are a great tool to inform your customers, clientele, or other readers about your business, organization, or department. They are often sent out following a regular, predetermined schedule (monthly, quarterly, yearly, etc.) and serve as a regular touch-point or connection with clientele.

Software: 

• Microsoft Publisher provides newsletter templates.
• If you prefer to use Microsoft Word, create newsletter-style columns.

APA:

If you are using research in your newsletter, follow APA guidelines for citing your sources. Use standard in-text citations just as you would for other papers. Your references should go in a column or section titled references, and should follow standard APA requirements for references. Contact your instructor if you have additional questions regarding APA requirements. Visit the APA Guide for help.
