- LOOM LITERARY MAGAZINE - a just-launched journal star-studded with local legends. i love the curation of writing and i love the front cover
- PULP - usyd’s student magazine (met them at the student journalism conference!) such a fun and experimental publication and such good design inspiration
- POLYESTER ZINE and JORDAN THERESA - really accessible critical lenses into pop culture. jordan theresa’s analysis of reality tv in particular is super interesting

- TERRAIN - eco-literature intitiative!!! i love their fitzroy bookstore and their crazy website
- FUNKY BUT FRAGILE substack by Tori Bravo (specifically her “cool things to do in melbourne”) - for when i get bored of Broadsheet
