Newsletter Generator

This newsletter generator runs on Laravel and allows anyone with a K-State login to submit articles for a weekly newsletter. Articles must be manually reviewed (for filtering purposes), but once accepted are automatically added into the newsletter which can be sent at the click of a button.

For articles that need to be run multiple weeks, someone will have to re-submit and approve the article every week.
