Gazette
A gazette is an official journal, a newspaper of record, or simply a newspaper. In English- and French-speaking countries, it is often used to refer to a public journal or a government publication. The term is derived from the Italian word gazzetta, which was a Venetian coin used to pay for early newspapers.
History[edit | edit source]
The concept of the gazette dates back to the early modern period. The first gazettes were published in Venice in the 16th century. These publications were used to disseminate news and information to the public. The format quickly spread to other parts of Europe, including France and England.
