Nimbin GoodTimes

Nimbin GoodTimes NGT is a free monthly newspaper for the vibrant Nimbin and Northern Rivers community in NSW Australia The paper is growing and evolving.

There have been three editors since the tabloid’s inception. The founding editor was Bob Hopkins – a prolific writer, with a “belief that an informed community meant a stronger community, that an open public discussion of issues meant a more thinking and considered group of people that will inevitably cause the community per se to get beyond the cliches and slogans that permeate and dominate the '

alternative' way.”

Bob Hopkins was succeeded in 1999 by the late Peter Atkinson, who held the reins for five years. He maintained that he didn’t mind reading something he disagreed with, as long as it was well argued, and he often reprinted John Pilger articles. Full credit to him for carrying the flag as long as he did. The present editor, since the February 2004 edition, is Bob Dooley, assisted by Sue Stock. They have drawn together a collection of regular contributors and layout, proofing support and distribution people. Under this team, the paper has grown from 8 pages with 1400 copies, to a 32 page 16,000 copy full-colour monster, with distribution throughout the Rainbow Region, from Tweed to Woodenbong, including Nimbin, Lismore, Byron, Kyogle, Casino and Murwillumbah. The involvement of new people brings fresh approaches, interesting ideas and new ways of doing things, and the topic of future directions is always open for discussion. As long as we keep the good times rolling.
