Newspaper

A Newspaper is an item that tells about the different going-ons in and around Varrock at that time.

Players can purchase an issue of the Varrock Herald for 50 coins from Benny in Varrock Square. However, it is never updated but Benny still sells them. The easy Varrock Tasks require the purchase of a newspaper.

Following the 2007 Hallowe'en event Update, the paper now makes reference to the visit of the Grim Reaper to Varrock, which is mentioned in Death's Journal during the 2007 Halloween event.

Another edition of the newspaper is seen briefly when completing As a First Resort..., as it contains a report about the opening of the spa in Oo'glog.

Trivia
Newspaper
 * In the Shield of Arrav quest, the Phoenix Gang uses the alias of "VTAM Corporation" until the player finds out who they are. Before this happens, the player can ask to apply for a job, and Straven would tell the player to check the Varrock Herald for openings. This caused many players to ask where they could find the then-non-existent newspaper.
