What about a monster of the week article.
Pick a random monster, say how many times it's been killed in the past week along with other cool things(Best drop, favorite food etc).
A comic strip sorta thing?
You can show a imp armwrestle a chicken. Or a penguin trying to buy full rune. (Ti's funny in my head..)
A "What if___" question every week
Like.. What if all the cows in runescape just die(No respawning). Let teh players choose the scenarios and add the best of the best to the weekly paper.
A recipe of the week - Both in game and out game.
Some sorta place of the week, a getaway for all. : D
Some sort of "Did you know" facts would be nice.

All right, every of the ideas in the first post of the thread should be implemented.
No newsletter is complete without a random article.
Yes, I know there is the Article of the Week on the front page, but it would fit perfectly in a newsletter.
Preferably some things that aren´t used very often could be in there- like Tarn´s Lair, the Varrock church with Father Lawrence...
Of course, the random article wouldn´t be the same as the one on the homepage, and possibly they could be written about things not even found in the Game Guide!
In example, you could take an article of every inn in Gielinor to get you started.
Of course, these articles could be player written!
The Locations forum is filled with those- or you could open a thread for everyone to post on.
As for the other idea, there shouldn´t be only "Ask a J-Mod" but some few nice stories about what´s going on in the HQ.
This is also nostalgic, since the newsposts in early 2001-2002 were really personal (check "Gowerian Agility" for a prime example).
This would give all players a nice laugh, and will prove the mods aren´t robots... or at least make people think that ;)
Every newspaper has some decent pictures.
This could be put into the newsletter by concept art.
Possibly for upcoming updates, but preferably already released ones- people would certainly like to know how the TzTokJad looked when it first was on your table!
This would only work if you haven´t thrown all the concept art in the waste bin, but I can´t know if you have :P Also, this function culd expand the Players´ Gallery- you could have a couple player-made pictures in here, so more players would get the chance of showing off their talent.
That sums up my ideas for now- I´m eagerly waiting!

Sounds great :)
The one thing I would hope to see in addition to what's already been named is the Stories forum being considered for "Story of the Week" as well as the RP forum. They both have some brilliant stories, and I'm sure between those two forums the newsletter would host a very entertaining read. :D
