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.
