Goa Today

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Goa Today is a monthly magazine published from

Gomant Vibhushan Award, the highest civilian award of Goa in 2014.[1]

The main problem facing the magazine in the 2010s is fostering enough advertising to meet publication costs.[4]

It was founded by Lambert Mascarenhas,[5][6] and F. D. Dantas. During Mascarenhas' and Dantas' ownership, Norman Dantas was first Associate editor and then as Executive editor for the magazine.[7] When Goa Today was sold to Salgaocar Mining Industries, Mascarenhas was followed as editor by Vaman Sardesai, who left in 1987 to become India's ambassador to Angola.[8] He was followed as editor by the poet-journalist Manohar Shetty, who maintained the high standards and promoted Goan literature while keeping the balance between history, political issues and literature.[9] Vinayak Naik is the current editor.[4]

In the mid 1980s, Goa Today was purchased by the

Salgaocar Football Club of Goa.[4]
