The News Corpse, Also known as The Gazette, is the town's two page newspaper, which is published daily at midnight and edited by The Crow.
It is also the location of the Great Register: the list consisting of all the town's activities.
The right-hand page gives a pictorial representation of the Night Hordes attack.
If a 
Searchtower is created, this page will also feature meteorological updates, giving the direction of the rejuvenated squares.
There is also mention of units of water lost from the Well, from the 
Water Turrets as they sprayed water at the zombies.
On the left-hand page are a few paragraphs relating to the events of last night, or the previous day.
Usually, The Crow tries to bring shame upon the survivors in these updates.
It will berate or slander individuals or all of the citizens on a number of subjects, such as if anyone died in the World Beyond, forgot to close the gate, has taken multiple items from the bank, or some other fiendish act it suspects we did.
At the bottom of the left page are the Obituaries.
Obituaries
It gives an obituary of the people who died the previous night.
Well, when I say obituary, it gives a list of names, separated into two categories: Deaths in town and Other victims.
Deaths in town
These are entirely concerned with casualties from the previous nights attack.
Hovering over the names of the dead will give a cause of death, but in this case will invariably be Lacerated... Devoured... during the night's attack!
Other victims
Other victims deals with, er, other victims. Hovering over the names will give a cause of death. These can include:
Generalized infection: The 50-50 chance of an 
Infected person surviving the night came up tails.
Withdrawal: Anyone with the 
Hooked! status who hasn't had their daily drug before the attack will end up here.
Terminal Dehydration: Anyone with the 
Dehydrated! status who hasn't drunk anything before the attack wastes away here.
Disappeared in the World Beyond during the night! : Camping is dangerous. But it doesn't say they died...
Cyanide Maybe they got sick of you. Maybe they mis-clicked. The world may never know.
Unknown reason : Maybe they couldn't take it any more. Maybe it was spontaneous human combustion. Maybe they got on The Crow's nerves...
