Te Korimako (Māori newspaper)
Te Korimako (The Bell Bird, 1882-1888) was edited and published by Charles Davis with the support of Americans Mr and Mrs W P Snow.
The last issue of Te Korimako was published in Auckland in May 1888. Eighteen months later the newspaper was revived in Opotiki as Te Korimako Hou (1890), edited by Reverend George Maunsell. There is more local (Opotiki and Tauranga) news in the revived newspaper than in its predecessor. The last issue appears to have been number 8, which was published on 10 September, 1890.
