A newsletter's news

Question:  Are newsletters considered news?

I wonder this because I had a bad experience with an article in the newsletter.  For one, it told one definite lie, and on top of that it exaggerated a detail.  Also, it twisted the story so much that it made the people writing it seem like heroes.  Which brings me back to the question, do newsletters contain news? 

I am genuinely curious.  Do they use the same triangle format as newspaper articles? 

I assume that newsletter articles do not follow a similar "unbiased" stance on writing, especially if, as in this case, the newsletters are from a non-profit organization. 

Moving along... maybe newsletters exist to let people know what is happening, but the news does this as well.  I guess the word 'news' is in 'newsletter' and it would make sense that it would be news.  But of course I must doubt this.  Newsletters have opinion and loaded words baked into their very being!  Well, not all, but some do; for instance, any newsletter about animal shelters and hospital patients that are children.  While they get the word out about the good causes they support, they still use language with strong connotations to mess with the readers emotions.  This use of language manipulation could prevent it from being news. 

My verdict: It resembles news, but might be a more emotional and bias form of news.

Remaining question: Are newspaper articles and newsletter articles written in similar ways?

Final thought: I could be completely wrong.  I just wrote down my train of thoughts and hoped that they would lead me somewhere.  If I'm wrong, help me out here.
