I whāia mai Te Pīpīwharauroa e Te Kōpara (The Bell Bird, 1913-1921) engari e aro nui ana ki ngā mahi a te Hāhi. I kapia Te Kōpara e Te Toa Takitini. I tuhia tēnei pepa ki te reo Māori.
I mihia Te Pīpīwharauroa i roto i te pānui etita tuatahi:
He tangi atu tēnā, he maimai aroha ki tā koutou manu, ki te Pīpīwharauroa, ka mutu nei tōna hokihoki ki te toro mai i ngā wāhi katoa o Aotearoa nei, o Te Waipounamu, o Rangiura, o Wharekauri. Ka maha nei ōna tau i rere mai ai i tōna whenua tawhiti me te puta tonu o tana karanga, 'Kūi, kūi, kūi, whiti, whitiora' (Oketopa, 1913: 1)
I te wā i whakamutua Te Pīpīwharauroa i runga i ngā raru ā-pūtea, i whakatūria e te Pīhopatanga o Waiapu o te Hāhi Mihinare ko Te Kōpara. He mea etita e Wī Paraire Rangihuna o Ngāti Porou.
Mā ngā whakataukī e rua i puta te huatau a te etita ka kawea e te niupepa iti nei Te Kōpara ngā pānui whai take anake:
I puta hoki te koronga o te niupepa i taua pānui etita tonu:
Āku e kohi ai ki taku rourou, ko ngā mea pakari, ko ngā mea e tupu pai ai te tangata i runga i te whakaaro ki te Atua e whakawhiwhi nei i a tātou ki ngā mea katoa e ora ai te wairua me te tinana (taua puka anō.)
I aro atu te nuinga o ngā kaupapa ki ngā mahi a te Hāhi Mihinare me ngā whakamārama o ngā karaipiture.
E hiahia ana te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa ki te mihi ki a Gail Dallimore mōna i tuku kōrero mai i whakamahia i roto i ngā tuhinga roa mō ngā niupepa Māori.
Te Kopara (The Bell Bird, 1913-1921) continues Te Pipiwharauroa but is concerned mostly with Church activities. Te Kopara was superseded by Te Toa Takitini. This paper is written in Māori.
The opening editorial acknowledged Te Pipiwharauroa:
When Te Pipiwharauroa folded due to financial difficulties, the Waiapu Diocese of the Church of England established Te Kopara. It was edited by Wi Paraire Rangihuna of Ngāti Porou.
Through two whakatauki, the editor suggested that the smaller newspaper Te Kopara would carry only the most essential items:
The intention of the newspaper was summed up in the same editorial:
The subjects covered mostly concern Anglican Church activities and explanations of tracts of scripture.
