Teataja

Teataja is a word in the Estonian language meaning "announcer" or "gazette." It derives from teata- meaning "to announce" plus the agentive suffix -ja, used to form a noun for a person or thing that performs the action of announcing. In ordinary use, teataja can refer to a person who proclaims information publicly, or to publications that disseminate notices, announcements, or news, such as bulletins, newsletters, or online portals.

As a proper noun, Teataja has been used as the name of several media products and platforms within the Estonian-speaking world. These uses reflect the core sense of timely information delivery. Because the name has been adopted by different entities at different times and in different regions, there is no single current entity universally identified as "Teataja." Historical references to Teataja typically indicate a publication or service devoted to public notices or news, rather than a single ongoing outlet.

In linguistic terms, teataja is related to teade (notice) and teada (to know); it appears in dictionaries as both a common noun and a branding element in media and public communication contexts.
