These days, you get a lot of newsletter information sent to you by email. Big HTML things which download images on arrival.
This is a new trend which has advantages - it pushes the content in the face of the reader, is graphically attractive, and an incentive for an immediate response.
It has the advantage of being free to distribute (can be a bit heavy on the mail server), and relatively easy to design. Maybe it is stopped by spam filters, or simply deleted, but if your list is managed properly, it should be fine.
These drawbacks are minor. Printed newsletters are more suited to a distribution in person, and for charities who deal with members who are older, will be better perceived.
Like all printed matter, it is kept, read again, passed on.
One advantage is that a downloadable pdf can also be archived on your website, and that you only need to describe the main titles and offer a link for download, this will imply a lower bandwidth on your server.
This site is offering PDFs for download or print only, not web based newsletters.
