Newletter: The Resonance

A campus newsletter is a newsletter published  by students of a university or college. These news letters cover local and, primarily, campus or university news. Working for one's campus newsletter is sometimes an extracurricular activity, but often is integrated with offered journalism classes. II year students of Communicative English are given the charge of the news letter. The students themselves raise the amount for circulation, half of the amount they find from their pockets and remaining from local advertisements.
