Actually, although each Principality is required to have a Chronicler and
produce a newsletter, there is *no* reason that this newsletter must be
subscription-based.  If a Principality is not in the process of actively
trying for Kingdom status, they just have to produce a newsletter of some
sort, distributed in some manner.

In both the Mists and Cynagua, the newsletter is produced and simply handed
out at Coronet Tournies and Investitures.  They include a listing of
Principality officers, a list of upcoming events, and some neat articles.
All the event copy and award lists are published primarily in the Kingdom
newsletters.  The Principality newsletters are paid for by the
Principalities -- and the Principalities are funded by their event fees.

It works for us...
