The Good Gossip is an independent, weekly e-newsletter highlighting news and events in Tasmania that have special importance to Catholics and other interested people. Published on a Thursday 46 weeks of the year, it is a subscription-based service aimed at keeping all interested people abreast of important religious news with a specific Tasmanian focus. Articles will be brief but newsy and will be linked, where appropriate, to related articles or fuller details. 

The Good Gossip is wholly owned and operated by Penelope Anne (Penny) Edman trading as PAGE 56.

It is an e-newsletter totally independent of the Roman Catholic Church; any organ or agency of the Church, either in Tasmania or elsewhere; or of any other Christian denomination or religious faith, although it’s content and purpose are religious in nature.
