Bus/Financial / internal corporate communications
French term or phrase: fil de vie
From a text about a corporate communications department and its goal to create a global community of communications specialists within the company: "une newsletter fil de vie bimestrielle sera envoyee par messagerie a tous les membres du reseau et consultable sur un espace communication reamenage sur X. D'autre part, un Congres Communication reunira chaque annee la communaute afin d'echanger et de reflechir au metier."
My French friend said it's a newsletter whose purpose is to bring employees together, but I'm not quite sure how to put it."
Thanks, Karen

Thanks so much. That term wouldn't have occurred to me. I'm still not sure whether it's the actual name of the newsletter, though that would make more sense. Thanks to everyone else for their suggestions, too. Karen
