The Gopher Times keeps ticking with Opus 6

  gopher://bitreich.org/1/tgtimes/

With an increasing number of external contributors, The Gopher Times 6
pursue the publication of a newspaper over the Gopher protocol.

The Gopher Times affirms itself as a platform to publish you, and to you:

* Not an automated, low-effort social media system: a dedicated team to
  publish your work and organise the layout.

* Not requiring complex software at any step of the chain: Troff, 
  GhostScript (optional, for .pdf), geomyidae (or another gopher server)
  sacc (or another gopher client, including netcat or curl).

* The need to be "online" to access the web content is not a feature,
  but a work around shortcomings of the web: Instead, we deliver a
  full single-file text document that you can read offline.

* The plain text version is a first class citizen, unlike a wattered-down
  plain text alternative to HTML email.

The Gopher Times brings a foundation for news publication where internet
barely ever reaches through.
