A good cause

Critic announced:

2025 marks Critic’s 100th year in print, and we are incredibly proud to announce our intention to produce a book to commemorate this milestone. A centenary only comes around once, and we’d be over the moon to see this project happen. Our deadline is March 2nd to secure a starting sum of $70,000, which will cover editorial staffing costs.

I’m a former sub-editor of Critic, and have donated towards the 100th anniversary book. Student newspapers are an amazing incubator for many great journalists and others. Salient has had Barrie Saunders, Huge Rennie, Elle Hunt, Toby Manhire etc. Critic has produced Matt Nippert, Patrick Crewdson, Chris Trotter, Henry Cooke etc. While the politics are often not mine, they are fun and always happy to challenge authority.

If you went to Otago University and have fond memories of Critic, feel free to donate. Details are:
