• Email goes to a specific individual or group of individuals. If you email something to 100 people, 100 copies are created. When you post a News article, however, only one copy is stored on an organization’s News server. “Newsreaders” are then used within an organization to read from (and post to) the News server. • Email is private, News is public. When you post a News article, millions of people may see it. • News articles expire automatically (unlike messages in your mailbox, which you are responsible for maintaining).
