Good Gabble

Good Gabble is an independently owned 100% Australian non-denominational monthly newzine. An innovative idea that came to birth when its founders realised that mainstream media focused highly on the misdemeanours, unfortunate circumstances and suffering within society. We feel the dig dirt and trash attitude of today’s media wears responsibility for the attitudes and views within society.

A combination of newspaper, newsletter and magazine Good Gabble shows pizzazz and style, leading the way in magazine innovation. Its relaxed format, newsletter style binding and low cost pricing allows for easy reading and affordability. Those who need the boost of self esteem and the feel good jolt are those who are jostling their daily lives, struggling with the grind of living and the pinches of life. A newzine format caters for those who wish to grab snippets of information on the go and those who wish to relax and soak in the longer more informative article. Included are features to read now and those to read later. Although binded in newsletter format this does not take away the professionalism or quality of the product but means less material usage, handling of product and uses of resources for its production. The concept of the simple things in life are often the best is embraced. Good Gabble is not about life being one of competition and having what the ‘Jones’ have but about individuality and acceptance of who we are and our role within society.
 
With a core target aged 25+ Good Gabble integrates faith in our society with real life. It aims to enlighten ones mind, body and soul whilst creating a newzine that takes one to all places positive. It is a place where recognition is given to the positive aspects of life.
 
Each month Good Gabble turns its back on the mainstream media, reporting only of news that shares of joy, achievement and hope. It is a place that does not judge, accepts all, welcomes and celebrates the joy of the goodwill of man. This is a place for readers to relax and rejoice knowing that there is good happening in this vast land. This is a celebration of those who stand above the rest striving to make a difference, no matter how big or small. It is recognition of the kindness, respect and love in this world that, too often, gets left behind. It is of articles that will inspire and motivate.
