  Otago Daily Times - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The paper is known both locally and nationally by the abbreviation "The ODT", or - less kindly - as "The Oddity".
Cutten was the publisher of a weekly newspaper, the Otago Witness, which was founded in 1851, and the already strong political views of co-founder Vogel saw an outlet in the ODT's pages, notably with advocacy for provincial government.
Today, the newspaper is regarded as the father-figure of the country's four main daily newspapers, serving the southern South Island with a circulation of around 46,000 and an estimated readership of 100,000.

 Otago - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The village of Otakou on the Otago Peninsula served as a whaling base during early years of European economic interest in the east coast of Murihiku around 1840.
The Otago Settlement, sponsored by the Free Church of Scotland, materialised in March 1848 with the arrival of the first two immigrant ships from Greenock on the Firth of Clyde -- the John Wickliffe and the Philip Laing.
The Otago electorate is currently represented in parliament by Jacqui Dean of the New Zealand National Party.

 Complaint to Editor of ODT
This article contained no reference to the fact that New Zealand is bound by international law to abide by conventions involving the use of involuntary labour and that those conventions are required to be written into the domestic law of member countries.
The Centre notes that at no time of which the Centre is aware since the Ministers announcement of the "work for the dole" scheme on Wednesday 22 April, have you ever made known to your readers these facts.
As you will be aware Sir, in feudal times the nobility considered it had the obligation to represent the rights of those over whom it exercised power, thus giving rise to the concept of noblesse oblige - privilege entails responsibility.

Bic Runga has emerged from an arduous three years, a period that at times left her literally lost for words as she sought ways to better construct her songs and the phrases within.
When you go and meet a make-up artist for the first time and suddenly they're meant to paint a picture on your face, it's a really disempowering relationship you have with them.

Otago STV action group spokesman Sam Huggard said more than 200 signatures were collected in three hours by group members near the Dunedin Public Library.
"CIVIS" (ODT, 12.10.02) questioned the efforts of Sam Huggard and his team of enthusiasts in gathering enough signatures from the Dunedin public to force a single transferable vote poll on the Dunedin City Council.
The point that Mr Huggard is trying to make is that in a democratic society the Dunedin City Council should have taken a lead from the overwhelming majority of submitters in favour of STV and put it to the people to decide, as the Wellington City Council has done.

 Otago Daily Times Article
Although he is paid by large computer-games companies to design the latest "shoot-em-up" games, Mr Adams has a "blue skies" vision, where computer games are regarded as a form of art and are commented on by critics rather than reviewed by people who have a vocabulary limited to "rocks" or "sucks".
The industry's awards should be changed to recognise artistic merit rather than technological skill and there needed to be recognition of the people who developed the games, even if that meant developing a cult around the developers, he said, while admitting he had a vested interest in the last statement.
In a later interview with the Otago Daily Times, Mr Adams said there were always a few people who told him he was talking garbage.
