I guessed wrong!

I was walking down Old Georgetown Road this morning and passed a newspaper box for the Montgomery Gazette, and I started wondering if "Gazette" was a newspaper name in the same way as "Mirror"--e.g., if "gazette" was some kind of archaic word for mirror, like "little gazing glass". I liked the idea, but I was completely wrong. According to the Online Etymology Dictionary, it's because of magpies, and coins.
