In a world of spin and confusion, there’s never been a more important time to support independent journalism in Canberra.
If you trust our work online and want to enforce the power of independent voices, I invite you to make a small contribution.
Every dollar of support is invested back into our journalism to help keep citynews.com.au strong and free.
Thank you,
Ian Meikle, editor
I am a resident of Uniting Amala Retirement Village at Gordon and, for the past two weeks I have been unable to pick up a copy of City News, possibly because I was beaten to it by my fellow residents. I am a keen crossword fan as well as enjoying the articles and I miss my weekly indulgence in your excellent edition. Could you please try to increase the number of copies left at the Lanyon Marketplace, where the City News rack has now been placed in a more prominent position. Thank you. John Pannell
