The British Virgin Islands (BVI), officially the Virgin Islands, are a British overseas territory located in the Caribbean to the east of Puerto Rico.

The islands make up part of the Virgin Islands archipelago; the remaining islands constitute the US Virgin Islands and the Spanish Virgin Islands.

The 14 British Overseas Territories (BOT) are territories under the jurisdiction and sovereignty of the United Kingdom.

They are the parts of the British Empire that have not been granted independence or have voted to remain British territories.

These territories do not form part of the United Kingdom and, with the exception of Gibraltar, are not part of the European Union.

Most of the inhabited territories are internally self-governing, with the UK retaining responsibility for defence and foreign relations.

The rest are either uninhabited or have a transitory population of military or scientific personnel.

They share the British monarch (Elizabeth II) as head of state.

Road Town, located on Tortola, is the capital of the British Virgin Islands.

It is situated on the horseshoe-shaped Road Harbour in the centre of the island's south coast.

The population was about 9,400 in 2004.

A newspaper is a serial publication containing news about current events, other informative articles about politics, sports, arts, and so on, and advertising.

A newspaper is usually, but not exclusively, printed on relatively inexpensive, low-grade paper such as newsprint.

The journalism organizations that publish newspapers are themselves often metonymically called newspapers.

As of 2017, most newspapers are now published online as well as in print.

The online versions are called online newspapers or news websites.

Newspapers are typically published daily or weekly.

News magazines are also weekly, but they have a magazine format.

General-interest newspapers typically publish news articles and feature articles on national and international news as well as local news.

The news includes political events and personalities, business and finance, crime, weather, and natural disasters; health and medicine, science, and computers and technology; sports; and entertainment, society, food and cooking, clothing and home fashion, and the arts.
