The Crocodile Specialist Group Newsletter is distributed to member's of the Crocodile Specialist Group, all member's of the group are encouraged to submit materials and articles to the newsletter for publishing. The effectiveness of this article stems from inviting the group to submit material, the group really captures the audience and not only piques their interest in the newsletter but gives them pride and ownership of the newsletter.
The newsletter commences by thanking people who have donated to the Crocodile Specialist Group (CSG) conservation program. The newsletter also includes an editorial which gives a brief summary of the newsletter and informs readers of upcoming events, this is followed by an obituary section which pays respects and outlines the life and great work of CSG members who have passed. The next section of the newsletter is a book review about wildlife conservation, followed by regional reports from America, Australia, Africa and Asia. Finally, the newsletter concludes with a list of member's of the CSG Steering Committee.
Each story in the newsletter targets their organisations audience each story involves crocodile research, wild life conservation or the workings of the crocodile specialist group. The newsletter is well written, short and succinct which also encourages the audience to take key findings and information from the newsletter. As a science journalist, I would find the newsletter very informative, each section would be able to be used as a story. The regional reports from around the globe would provide the best story as it indicates what work is being done in crocodile research and conservation around the world, this section of the newsletter was particularly interesting and would create a lot of interest if written in a story.
