The Weekly Gazette is a weekly newspaper in the human Gamma Age on planet VOI 700 D. The newspaper is printed and published by the Federal News Agency, whose founding goes back to the so-called Independent Press Act of 2634, with which the Communards, as the governing party in the Federal Council, cleared the way for an independent public news system.

The newspaper has been published weekly since 2634. In New Kourou it is always available from Friday morning. Afterwards, the Federal Courier Service brings them to the three other reservations, where they are available from Saturday (Hope and Morningstar) and from Monday (Firetown).

The Weekly Gazette has a circulation of 11.000 copies. The Editorial Office is based in the Federal News Building at SE Thoreau Road 2 within the southern Public Services Ring in New Kourou.

Delivery of The Weekly Gazette is handled by the Federal Courier Service. For resource-efficency, the Weekly Gazette isn't distributed to individuals. Instead it is delivered to and read in Public Libraries, Federal Hostels and Saloons and in designated Federal News Lounges (FNL). FNLs are small pavilions providing current and back issues, a big table and generally around 20 seats. They are mostly situated in parks, town squares or other places accessible to the general public.

The only exception to this reading lounge model is Firetown: Here The Weekly Gazette is delivered on a subscription basis.

The Weekly Gazette advocates critical, independent journalism. By and large, however, it represents the political views of the Communist Party and the New Kourou Civic Society. In addition, journalists are selected through the GAIA system and hired through the Federal Allotment Agency.

Because of its political proximity to the Communards, members of the Party of Individualist accuse the Weekly Gazette of not being truly independent, but rather a government organ of the Communards. For this reason, the Party of Individualists established its own weekly newspaper in 2634, called the Firetown Post. The goal of the Firetown Post is to spread an “individualist opinion from the Dark Side”.
