Meet our "Clique"

On the search for Canberra's elusive soul

It was kind of like vintage shopping - we had to know where to look, and do our fair share of foraging, but the gems that formed our 'urban clique' were definitely there. That's the thing about the people of Canberra - there is so much more to it than meets the eye. Individuals form the fabric of a city's cultural landscape, and in the process of creating this photo shoot, we discovered that Canberra has a very rich and eclectic tapestry of people.

Hot off the press!

In the City has just arrived back from the printers and is sitting on pallets out the back of our dock ready for insertion into Monday's paper!

Behind the scenes

Photoshoot Spring 2010

A mammoth team of hairstylists, make-up artists and assistants all came together to orchestrate two crazy days of shooting. Take a sneak peek behind the scenes.

Do you recognise this man?

I was highly emotional when Joni Scanlon returned to the office after her interview with the protagonist of the article entitled Silent Salvation. Joni is planning on nominating Canberra's own Alan Jessop for Australian Senior of the Year.

The gentleman returns

The latest edition has the usual mix of interesting feature articles, including one that ties in perfectly with the launch of this blog.

Secrets of the Urban Clique

There is so much happening in our city that we can’t fit it all into In the City magazine - hence this blog.

The other reason we launched this site is that, at some point or another during the process of compiling the magazine, all the people who contribute to its content will have just a little bit more to say about a topic. For example, there was a lot more to the concept of our photo shoot than meets the eye.

In the City SPRING 2010

The spring 2010 edition of In the City magazine hits the town on August 30. We're chuffed with our gorgeous cover shot. Taking a photo that says 'spring' at the tail-end of a Canberra winter is no mean feat - but lucky for us, the courtyard garden at the NFSA is pretty and green year-round.

This is only the third edition, but this fledgling magazine is very quickly gaining momentum. The mag has won two awards and has been bumped up from tri-annual to quarterly – so the next one is only three months away.

Aimed at helping everyone get to know the city a little better, the magazine provides a guide on great eats, fashion and fun in the city’s eclectic suburbs. Stay tuned for news, a calendar of events and competitions that will be exclusive to the blog.
