The News-Review is a newspaper circulated in the the Fleet. It first surfaced in Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I, with the headline story recapping a previous presidential debate between Laura Roslin and Dr. Gaius Baltar. It is likely this paper is a subsidiary of the Fleet News Service.

The newspaper is not a daily, but instead printed and released at different points during the week. As of far, it is only known to have a midweek edition, since that was the caption appearing over the headline when the paper was first seen.

The only known reporter for The News-Review is John Sowell, who wrote the article covering the presidential debate.

In addition to covering politics, The News-Review covers other topics on separate pages, much like newspapers on Earth. A few of the visible sub-headlines on the front page covered religious topics and the identity of Athena.

It is unknown if The News-Review continued publication after the colonization of New Caprica.
