I placed the newsletters into a seperate page tree and added another TS
template for this tree. In the root-folder of this tree I included a
special newsletter TO and inherited to the subpages. In the template I
include the CSS files via page.headerData

headerData.5 = COA
headerData.5 {
  40 = TEXT
  40.value (
    <meta name="mssmarttagspreventparsing" content="true" />
    <meta name="content-language" content="de" />
    <meta name="author" content="..., Wuppertal, www.domain.tld" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen,projection"
href="http://domain.tld/fileadmin/agency/sitename/template/css/news.css" />
  )
}

if you don`t want to link to an external stylesheet, you could also
include the inline styles with page.headerData.
