What is the name of the Stars Hollow newspaper?

The name of the Stars Hollow newspaper is the Stars Hollow Gazette.

The newspaper belongs to the fictional Connecticut town at the center of Gilmore Girls. It is a local publication serving Stars Hollow, whose tightly connected residents rely on town meetings, festivals, gossip, and community institutions as much as on formal civic structures. The Gazette fits that small-town setting: it is a distinctly local paper rather than a major regional or national newspaper.

The publication becomes especially important in Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life. In the episode “Summer,” Rory Gilmore discovers that the Gazette is in danger of closing after its longtime editor, Bernie Roundbottom, retires. She takes on the editorial role and tries to keep the paper operating, turning it into one of the revival’s storylines about work, journalism, and Rory’s uncertain professional direction.

The distractors are real newspaper names or generic-sounding titles, but they do not belong to Stars Hollow. The New Haven Register and Hartford Courant are associated with Connecticut’s real-world newspaper landscape; The Daily Planet is a fictional paper from the Superman universe.
