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.[2]

History

The paper was founded in 1885 as the Hot Lakes Chronicle. This paper received a major scoop when it covered the eruption of Mount Tarawera in June 1886. It was founded by a Mr. Watt, and upon his death his wife took over. She in turn sold it to Mr. David Gardner, who emigrated from Queensland, in 1905. His sons, Robin and Russell, took over upon Gardner's death in 1918. Originally published weekly, the Hot Lakes Chronicle was published twice a week by Gardner in an effort to stave off competition from a rival paper.[2]
