    Well two days out and no answers, so I think your survey is shot.

    But I will chime in with my own views.

    My email box is full enough thank you.

    I have a rss page for webcomics, mostly for the ones that do not update frequently.

    If I was going to have to choose between the two choices given I would chose rss. It would confine the problem to one page.

    But news is frequent. It would be better to check the google or other web pages and get it that way.

    Still, my parish has a newspaper, It comes out once a month. It does not jam my email system with daily updates. I get that by email.

    So it strongly depends on the frequency of the email newspaper. If infrequent, rss. If regular and not often, email. If constant and often, check the web page or start a google group.
