Your Gazette Pet

That's a riff on an album I can't remember called Your Cassette Pet. Might have been Bow Wow Wow.

Anyhow we drew a blank getting to the bottom of what made the journal and magazine as, even though both are long out of copyright, there's no copy I could find online of those vital first issues.

Pointless postulating on past Post. I thought I would try to round up all the gazettes in Australia, since they held this dual role of being 'any newspaper' (the kind I expect to find this go round) and government records of all things official.
Apparently there were too many New South Wales papers, being the oldest colony, so one is directed to a separate page. In the meantime, one could surmise that hip Melbourne finds it too archaic; the gazettes there have all closed.
Regional Victoria still has
and once had
Queensland
Western Australia had no newspapers of that name and South Australia has only South Australian Gazette and Colonial Register, sounding rather like the other kind of gazette, and then there's the defunct Kapunda Herald which had a section called The Midlands Gazette.

Tasmania dispensed with gazette titling after The Hobart Town Gazette (1816-1821)

In the Top End, past publications include Darwin papers The North Australian and Northern Territory Government Gazette, and The Northern Territory Times and Gazette,  who dropped the last part in 1927 and closed altogether in 1932.

New South Wales

has hundreds of newspapers as the all-knowing Wikipedia has pointed out. Even ignoring the import of those called gazettes, the state publishes far in excess of other Australian states.

Gazetted

I thought of gazettes as being newspapers and have been called such in England and France since the 17th century but it as early as 1665 that The Oxford Gazette came to indicate a public journal of the government. It later changed its name to The London Gazette. Other publications like Royal Thai Government Gazette (1851) serve the same function.

 The government of the United Kingdom requires government gazettes of its member countries. Publication of the Edinburgh Gazette, the official government newspaper in Scotland, began in 1699. The Dublin Gazette of Ireland followed in 1705, but ceased when the Irish Free State seceded from the United Kingdom in 1922; the Iris Oifigiúil (Irish: Official Gazette) replaced it. The Belfast Gazette of Northern Ireland published its first issue in 1921.

Wnat's in an aim

It's looking more and more likely that the major distinguishing feature of The Gentleman's Magazine is that it was the first to call itself a magazine.

The journals and gazettes that preceded it differ more in what they were called or the size of their audience or whatever other theory a good paper can come up with.

They were prestigious nonetheless with a distinguished role call of authors associated with the periodical.

Journals are free to roam back before their existence through website Sixteenth Century Journal

 Le Journal des Sçavans is generally cited as the first scientific journal (1665)

 The neatest encapsulation is this lesson in literary development where we are reminded not only of Shakespeare and Milton and Aphra Behn but as they put it, perhaps to put us in the moment, 'English arrives in North America 1608'. This was the year of King Lear and a year prior to Avisa Relation oder Zeitung

Earlier eighteenth century periodicals (but not magazines) were The Spectator (1711-14) and Vetusta Monumenta, illustrated antiquarian papers at intermittent levels (1718-1906)

while The London Magazine (1732-1785), The Bee (1733-1735), Lloyds List (1734 and still going strong) and The Scots Magazine (1739-1826) all followed hot on its heels.

Feel loss off fees

The next questions to ask, if we do want to adopt a mode of inquiry as seems appropriate to the subject, are "What was in that first ever magazine?" "What was in that first journal that made it philosophical and/or literary?" "What was in the magazines and journals published between 1663 and 1731 that made them still specialist and where did they branch off from more philosophical or literary concerns?" "What made The Gentleman's Magazine general [in a way that none were before]?"

Johann von Rist was the author responsible for much of the content of  Erbauliche Monaths Unterredungen which ran from 1663 to 1668. Rist was a poet and theologian and the title of the magazine translates as 'Edifying Monthly Discussions'

It is a good thing for the history books that Le Mercure Galant is described as the first fashion journal (1672) as "the gazette (which appeared irregularly) featured poems, anecdotes, news, marriages, gossip, theatre and art reviews, songs, and fashion reviews."
