Calcutta Gazette was an English newspaper in Bengal founded by Francis Gladwin, a colonial officer, in 1784.
[1][2][3][4] The Calcutta Gazette was founded by Francis Gladwin, an officer in the British East India Company, and an orientalist.
The Gazette initially charged the government for advertisements but stopped after the government provided the Gazette with free postal circulation and free postage.
In January 1787, Francis Gladwin gave control of the company to Arthur Muir, Herbert H. Harrington and Edmond Morris.
In June 1815 the Government Gazette was created by the Bengal Military Orphan Society.
