What is the Best Method to Communicate Project Updates

Question

If we want to send an update to all project stakeholders/users/team members , what is the best practice for doing this within Jira? For example, if I just want to let everyone know a few bullet point updates for that project how could I easily send this to everyone already added to that project??

@Kristine Gemici Before we purchased Confluence I used to add an issue called project update to the Jira project.  I would then add everyone as a watcher that should be receiving and update.  I created a dashboard that showed key information for my stakeholders and ensured that they all had access to it.  I would then update the issue with a comment about the status of the product and always linked to the dashboard for supporting information.  This ensured that communication went out to the correct people and a history of those updates was in the project.
