How to say "newsletter" in Japanese
Choosing the right word
- nounThe direct loanword and the default choice for a regular publication updating members, customers or subscribers, whether printed or sent by email.
- 会報かいほうnounThe bulletin or newsletter a society, association or club issues for its members; use this when the publication belongs to an organization and is addressed to its membership.
- 時報じほうnounIts ordinary meaning is a time signal or time announcement; as 'newsletter' it appears chiefly in the titles of official periodical bulletins, so it is seldom the word you want for an ordinary newsletter.
Use 「ニュースレター」 for a newsletter in general, 会報 for the bulletin an association or club sends its members, and leave 時報 aside, since it normally means a time signal.
