  The Bermuda Gazette was a Bermudian English-language weekly newspaper. Published from 1784 to 1803 by Joseph Stockdale (and by his three daughters from 1803 to 1816), it was Bermuda's first newspaper. In 1782, the Bermudian Legislature arranged for a printing press, and brought Stockdale from England to run it.
