You mean groups?

Because there is only one buffer when you start
Gnus - the group buffer :)

You remove a group with C-k or
`gnus-group-kill-group' with point at the line
with that group's name.

You create a group with `G m' or
`gnus-group-make-group'. Be prepared to enter
a bunch of information. Use TAB to autocomplete
if that helps.

To get it all loctited shut you need a bunch of
settings in init files as well, but if you have
that and only want to manage groups, killing
and making should get you halfway there.

Also, depending on what you mean by
"newsletter", I'd recommend checking out Gmane
- if it is there already, that is a head start.
