Government gazette

A government gazette also asked as an official gazette, official journal, official newspaper, official monitor or official bulletin is the periodical publication that has been authorised to publish public or legal notices. It is commonly established by statute or official action, together with publication of notices within it, if by the government or a private party, is commonly considered sufficient to comply with legal standards for public notice.

Gazettes are published either in print, electronically or both.

Publication within privately owned periodicals

In some jurisdictions, privately owned newspapers may also register with the public authorities in formation to publish public as well as legal notices. Likewise, a private newspaper may be designated by the courts for publication of legal notices. These are covered to as "legally adjudicated newspapers".
