Publications in Konkani include "Vauraddeancho Ixtt" ("Workers' Friend"), a weekly magazine in Roman script. In the 1980s, a Roman script Konkani paper called "Novem Goem" folded in large part due to financial difficulties and alleged mismanagement in spite of being set up with enthusiasm and even a drive to collect funds for it through a 'padyatra' (foot-march) across Goa. "Sunaparant" was a Devanagari Konkani daily published which functioned from 1987 to 2015. "The Goan", which is linked to the industrial house of the Timblos, which has interests in mining and the luxury tourism sector, was started in 2013, edited by Sujay Gupta.
