Celebrating thirty years of GAG-News with ROUGOL
With very few exceptions, magazines that centre on RISC OS have tended to come and go since the operating system first appeared1, and only a very small number have stayed the course and continue to be published today.

It’s GAG-News, not bad news! Back in September, when reporting that Drag ‘n Drop had ceased publication (again), I said: This leaves RISC OS with only one remaining magazine, Archive. Already the platform’s only remaining printed magazine… This was incorrect, a fact pointed out to me in the comments on that post. Not only is there another magazine still being published as well as Archive (and Drag ‘n Drop, which was subsequently resurrected by Christopher Dewhurst), but it’s a printed magazine to boot.
