I like the idea here. In general, the design made it feel a bit disjointed, like I wasn't sure what I was looking at, whether it's a single article or newsletter with several content blurbs stacked together. Consider moving your Community Spotlight CTA as a mid-article blurb or after the end of the article.
I like the "In Article 417..." section that gives an overview (I'm a big fan of the cognitive scaffolding that a TOC provides), but maybe put that first, before you even get into dilemmas that you're trying to address? Not sure, but I feel like there's a real opportunity there for you.
This is good, smart content. I hope you find the right visual organization to make it shine! Keep it up!
