Star Observer issue 1218
This week’s edition is the final weekly edition of the Star Observer, before we return on April 17 with a fabulously stylish new-look monthly publication.
We’re adapting with the way our readers consume news and also increasing our focus with online news content – both of which is certainly presenting exciting prospects for Australia’s most-respected LGBTI news source.
Star Observer editor Elias Jahshan goes into more detail about what you can expect as we embrace the future on page 13 of this week’s edition.
Other highlights this week include our report on the latest on the LGBTI museum for Taylor Sq, Victoria Police’s no-show to an anniversary screening of a documentary about an infamous 1994 gay club raid; exciting news for the Queen’s Ball in Brisbane, a low-down on the Purchas Cup last weekend, and previews of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
