Raglan Chronicle Newspaper New Zealand, formerly the Raglan County Chronicle, is a free weekly newspaper published in Raglan and delivered to most homes west of the summit of State Highway 23. Circulation figures are not published, but the 2006 Census showed 1,068 dwellings in Raglan and 594 in Te Uku area units, in addition to which copies are available in Raglan shops and cafes, so that total circulation must amount to about 2,000 copies a week. In addition copies can be downloaded from the website.

‘”In 1903 an event took place which did much for the progress of our district. This was no less than the formation of the Raglan Printing and Publishing Coy., which had for its object the inaugu­ration of a weekly local paper. The first editor was Mr. F. W. Green under whose able management a wide and flourishing circulation was achieved and the venture paid a good dividend to its share­holders. In those days when the only telephones were those in the post offices local news travelled very slowly and often came to res­idents through the medium only of the Auckland Weekly News, Waikato Times, Waikato Argus or notices at post office or public notice boards, one of which was situated at the Kauroa-Okete cross-roads. Now all this was changed and a paper devoted solely to Raglan news and interests was a great boon and was eagerly looked forward to each week. In every home there was a rush for the Chronicle or “The Buster” as it was affectionately called by many.”
