The term gazette refers to the publication or disclosure that is disseminated from time to time with news on a subject or matter. It is a word that comes from the Italian "gazzetta", referring to an Italian currency, specifically that circulated in Venice around the seventeenth century, with whose currency you could buy a newspaper at that time, and this newspaper acquired the nickname of gazzetta thanks to this. Said voice is the diminutive of "gaza" originating from Indo-Persian which means "treasure", and which came to Italian through Latin. The dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy describes the word gaceta as that periodical publication in which news is imparted, whether administrative, literary, commercial or of another kind..
In its beginnings, the gazette was the public paper, that is to say, the newspaper of news, theater, politics, fashion, courts, or simply that it covered these matters; then they became those newspapers that were not related to political matters, but rather to aspects of literature, administration, among others. All those who wrote or wrote, in addition to those who sold said newspapers, were usually branded as gazetteers, which should be noted that today it is a word of little use or perhaps no use at all.
On the other hand gazette was the name that was given for many years in Spain to the official newspaper of said Government; in this newspaper all the provisions were placed so that they were public knowledge; it began to be published weekly in the mid-seventeenth century and consisted of four pages.
Finally, in Mexico the official newspaper of the universities of this country is known by gazette, which among the most popular are those of the University of Guadalajara and those of UNAM.
