A government gazette (also known as an official gazette, official journal, official newspaper, official monitor or official bulletin) is a periodical publication that has been authorised to publish public or legal notices. It is usually established by statute or official action, and publication of notices within it, whether by the government or a private party, is usually considered sufficient to comply with legal requirements for public notice.{{cite book|title=Black's Law Dictionary, 6th edn.|year=1980|publisher=West Publishing|isbn=90-6544-631-1}}
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 order to publish public and legal notices.See, for example, L.N. 362 of 1997 of The Government of The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Gazette{{cite web|title=Texas Local Government Code – Section 52.004.

These are referred to as "legally adjudicated newspapers".{{cite web|title=Fictitious Names: Adjudicated Newspapers |url=http://www.sonoma-county.org/Clerk/HTML_Documents/FictitiousNames/Newspapers.htm |work=County Clerk |publisher=County of Sonoma |access-date=4 October 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121029074233/http://sonoma-county.org/Clerk/HTML_Documents/FictitiousNames/Newspapers.htm |archive-date=29 October 2012 }}
