From TECHNOPEDIA
Techopedia explains Newsgroup

Newsgroups were initially created in 1979 by some university students to


exchange messages. Users can subscribe for free by submitting an email address,
and the group generally consists of several topics/categories based around a
main theme. The user/subscriber can post a message in a particular
topic/category, which is either automatically visible in open newsgroups, or can
only be viewed by approved members in moderated groups. All subscribers
participating or following a particular topic/newsgroup will be notified of new
messages and updates. Moreover, news/stories/topics in the newsgroup can be
read through a downloadable news reader application.

Despite new technologies such as social media, newsgroups continue to thrive


online.
