The Gauntlet Gazette

The Gauntlet Gazette is one of New Gauntlet City's most established and respected newspapers. Active since the Platinum Age, it is practically an institution of the city though its fortunes have waxed and waned over time.

During the 1930s, one of its ace reporters was Rosemary Strand, who worked the organised crime beat. However working with the masked vigilante Ms. Fortune would lead to scoops beyond the city borders, including foiling a Nazi plan to destroy the city. Although Hitler's government disavowed the plan, The Gazette took a strong line against the growing threat of fascism to the city and to America. Its support of the city's masked vigilantes and adventurers put it at odds with Commissioner Simon Darling.

The Gazette's icon is of a Newsboy holding a paper aloft, eyes covered by a domino mask. This symbol has changed at various points in the city's history, depicting the Newsboy in various costumes or with the superpowers of flight or glowing eyes. Some controversy erupted among long-time readers over the 1996-1998 logo, which featured a heavily muscled Newsboy bearing a satchel with an excessive number of pouches. His feet were also obscured by the masthead.
