newspaper
'die Zeitung' and 'die Gazette' can both mean a newspaper or journal. 'Zeitung' is the normal word in modern German. 'Gazette', by contrast, sounds elevated, old-fashioned, or specialized, and is often used for certain local or official publications. Learners may confuse them because both can refer to a publication with news. In everyday language, 'Zeitung' is almost always more natural. 'Gazette' fits only in special names, historical contexts, or when a particular style is intended.
