The Rotorua Daily Post is the regional newspaper for the Central North Island including the greater Rotorua area as well as Taupo and the surrounding areas.

Breaking news, interchangeably termed latebreaking news and also known as a special report or special coverage or news bulletin, is a current issue that broadcasters feel warrants the interruption of scheduled programming and/or current news in order to report its details.

Its use is also assigned to the most significant story of the moment or a story that is being covered live.

It could be a story that is simply of wide interest to viewers and has little impact otherwise.

Many times, breaking news is used after the news organization has already reported on the story.

When a story has not been reported on previously, the graphic and phrase "Just In" is sometimes used instead.

In journalism, a source is a person, publication, or other record or document that gives timely information.

Outside journalism, sources are sometimes known as "news sources".

Examples of sources include official records, publications or broadcasts, officials in government or business, organizations or corporations, witnesses of crime, accidents or other events, and people involved with or affected by a news event or issue.

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.

Opinion journalism is journalism that makes no claim of objectivity.

Although distinguished from advocacy journalism in several ways, both forms feature a subjective viewpoint, usually with some social or political purpose.

Common examples include newspaper columns, editorials, editorial cartoons, and punditry.
