What is the name of the newspaper where Rory interns?

Rory interns at the Stamford Eagle Gazette.

The Stamford Eagle Gazette is the fictional newspaper where Rory works during her internship arranged by Mitchum Huntzberger. The placement is intended to give her practical newsroom experience and expose her to professional reporting.

Rory initially performs routine tasks and tries to prove that she belongs in journalism. Mitchum’s evaluation of her work becomes one of the most consequential professional setbacks in the series, contributing to her temporary withdrawal from Yale.

The paper is different from the Yale Daily News, the student newspaper Rory later joins and edits, and from the fictional Stars Hollow Gazette associated with town life. Rory’s internship therefore connects her academic ambitions with the much more demanding professional newspaper world.
