Club Penguin Times

Club Penguin Times (formerly known as The Penguin Times before September 2007) is Club Penguin's local newspaper, which comes out every Friday. It used to come on Thursday. It is one of the sources of information. Aunt Arctic is its editor-in-chief, as well as its formal help columnist. On November 18, 2010, the newspaper got a new look. Now, there are only two pages and you have to scroll. You can count on the Penguin Times to keep you informed and entertained at the same time every Thursday. From party information to riddles, the Penguin Times has got it all covered. The Penguin Times is the only known formal tabloid and island news source.

The Newsletter is also produced by the Club Penguin Times.

Its headquarters is the Club Penguin Times News Office, and it replaced the Book Room in June 2012 just after the Marvel Super Hero Takeover.

Trivia

 * In Issue #233 and #285, Rookie took over Aunt Arctic's Place in the "Ask Aunt Arctic" section cause of the April Fools Party.
 * The name is a parody of various newspapers named "The *towns name* Times".
 * In issue 129 The Club Penguin Times announced that in issue 130 Aunt Arctic is going to be the chief of The Club Penguin Times.
 * In Issue #266, the Club Penguin Times got a new design.
 * Issue #267 was released on November 24, 2010 (a Wednesday, not a Friday,) for no reason known. (possibly because Card-Jitsu Water was released on the same day)
 * The games in the Old version of the newspaper didn't return on the new version.
 * The Club Penguin Times is now released every Thursday.
 * The reason why Club Penguin changed to design is to focus and work on parties and other items. The old newspaper is long that the CP Team needs more time. This is probably some parties or events are launched late.
 * In one of the newspapers it said Enormous Paycheck Frenzy stood for EPF.
 * The PSA used to hide messages in the Penguin Times.
 * In Issue 315 "Ask Aunt Arctic" was replaced with "Ask Sensei" and ran all November
 * In Issue 330, 331, and 332, "Ask Aunt Arctic" was replaced with '"Ask Captain Rockhopper".'' This is due to the release of Rockhopper's Quest
 * Issue 331 is released on a Friday instead of the usual Thursday (24th February 2012), probably due to the release of Rockhopper's Quest on Friday. The pin is also released on Friday.
 * In issue 333 "Ask Aunt Arctic" was replaced with "Ask PH" because of the Puffle Party 2012.
 * They've currently started having characters submit articles and secrets to the newspaper.
 * The newspaper mentioned about the rumored Abominable Snow Puffle, the Meteor Puffle, and the Golden Puffle.
 * For the Marvel Super Hero Takeover one page was regular with the superhero sign supporting superheroes and police officers, while the other page was green and supported super villains and bank robbers.
 * When you see a penguin reading the newspaper in-game, you can see that the title in the newspaper is "Daily Report" instead of :The Club Penguin Times and also seen that the reader is holding the old type of newspaper, where CP forgot to update the .swf files of newspaper reading after the newspaper changed it's look in 2010.
 * In Issue 348 in the section "Ask Aunt Arctic", Aunt Arctic said: "I could be the leader of an elite squad of super penguins protecting the island from evil." This was in reply to the question, "Are you secretly a Super Hero?" It turns out that she was only joking with her answer.
 * Sometimes after an Igloo Decorating contest, the Club Penguin Times will show the winners.
