            2 A Newspaper for Gopher
            3 .PP
            4 Starting from today, \fIThe Gopher Times\fR is going to be published.
            5 How can a paper-oriented journal make sense in this hypermedia

           11 Rather than a continuous feed of upmost shocking headlines,
           12 \fIThe Gopher Times\fR publishes news you can read without a cookiewall
           13 or paywall.
           14 .PP
           15 Paper newspapers go through a long chain: reporters, photographers,
           16 redactors, editors, columnists, layout artists, typesetters, printers,
           17 carriers and other supportive technicians...  and are sold for a quarter.
           18 .PP
           19 The web considerably shackled the landscape: the high speed of computers
           20 made real-time text news a reality, where time from Trump's tweet
           21 announcements to publication is below a few hours.
           22 .PP
           23 This journal diverts the present norm by 90° by using \fCtroff(1)\fR
           24 as its foundation: a \fItypesetter\fR producing static documents ready
           25 to be printed.
