Why an email newsletter? I personally find it to be one of the more annoying ways of receiving news. If you're not careful enough with spam filters many people might not even get the newsletter. Sending it to past players who no longer give a shit about the game will only frustrate them, they'll probably end up annoyed instead of making them return to Planetarion as everyone hopes.

Concentrate on creating a main website where all news is posted. Interviews, round updates, interesting alliance wars etc could be posted as news to a main website/portal when they appear. Don't delay all the news to bunch it all together into a newsletter, by the time everyone has reviewed it the latest news will be old and stale.
