You can't _build_ advertisers (you could maybe build "advertiser" -- singular). Anyone can publish anything they are willing to publish; it looks like the FreeBSD Really Quick Newsletter might be going this route: online publication, with people who like paper and maintaing their own immutable archives paying a premium to have it sent to them.
