A newspaper is usually, but not exclusively, printed on relatively inexpensive, 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.

The population of the Raglan statistical unit was 2,637 at the 2006 New Zealand Census in 1,068 households, with an age of 37. In 2013 the population of the Raglan statistical area had risen by 99 people to 2,736, the population of the Raglan ward was 4680 in 2006. It had increased to 4920 in 2013, the area has been inhabited for at least 800 years and was originally known by the Māori people as Whaingaroa. The name Raglan was adopted in 1858 in honour of Fitzroy Somerset, 1st Lord Raglan, the first Europeans to settle in the area were the Rev James and Mary Wallis, Wesleyan Missionaries who were embraced and welcomed by local Māori in 1835. European settlement, including large scale conversion of land to pasture, the Raglan economy was supported initially by flax and timber exports, followed by farming which is still the mainstay of the area. Tourism and the arts are also significant contributors to the current economy, Raglan and District Museum contains historic artefacts and archives from the region.
A new museum building was built in 2011, the town was the scene for very public civil disobedience campaigns in the 1970s. During World War II the New Zealand Government took local ancestral land from indigenous Māori owners to construct a military airfield. When no longer required for defence purposes, part of the land, there was widespread protest and attempts to reoccupy the land, and in 197820 Māori protesters were arrested on the ninth hole of the golf course.

Raglan is associated with Whaingaroa Harbour on the west coast of the Waikato region in New Zealands North Island, the harbour catchment covers 525 km2 and the harbour covers 35 km2 and has 220 km of coastline. It is the northernmost of three large inlets in the Waikato coast,15 significant rivers and streams run into the harbour, including the largest, Waingaro and Waitetuna, accounting for 60% of catchment area, and the smaller Opotoru and Tawatahi rivers. A study for Regional Council said, Whaingaroa Harbour began to fill with sediment at least 8000 years before present and before the sea had reached its present level 6500 years B. Rapid sedimentation in the harbour before 6500 years B. Is attributed to the formation of now relict intertidal shore platforms up to 700-m wide and these coastal landforms were rapidly formed 8000-6500 years B. By physical weathering of soft mudstone cliffs and wave action.
Consequently, all but the two metres of the present day sediment column was deposited before 6000 years B. Today, the harbour has largely infilled with catchment sediment up to 8-m thick and it concluded that most sediment is now swept up to 20 km out to sea. Southwest of the stands the extinct volcano of Mt Karioi.
