The Otaki Mail

The Otaki Mail is a monthly community tabloid newspaper delivered from Manakau to the north of Otaki to Te Horo in the south with over 1,000 copies delivered to the RD community.

It is very community based tending to look more deeply into issues rather than trying to scoop with news.

The original Otaki Mail was first published around 1892 under the name of the West Coast Mail before in 1895 changing to the Otaki Mail. In the 1940's the Otaki Mail was merged into the Levin Chronicle.

In 1991 the Otaki Mail was relaunched by Annabel McLaren as a monthly community paper commited to informing the people of Otaki.

In 2002 the paper was bought by Alan and Wendy Bailey who continue the commitment to the Otaki community.
