Hosted by the OG Squiz team, Kate Watson and Claire Kimball, News Club is the place to go for conversations about the news.
Our News Club podcast is out each Tuesday. It's dedicated to one news topic, sort of like a book club for news. We do the heavy lifting with our Club Picks on what to read/watch/listen to and get your thoughts on the topic.  
And on Saturday, The Weekly Wrap drops. It is like the weekend newspaper in audio form. We take you through the big news stories from the week that was, what's coming up, and the stuff we're recommending.

Annabelle Hickson is the founder and editor of Galah Magazine, an independent print magazine that captures regional Australia and the people who live there. With the return of several big magazine titles this year, we ask her if there is a growing desire for non-digital experiences. We also talk about the lack of local newspapers and how that might be feeding perceptions of rural and regional Australia that aren’t quite accurate. Club picks:

This Australian Financial Review piece from last year by Squiz fave Lauren Sams about the magazines making a comeback lays out the case and data. 

This article from ABC Online about the closure of Broken Hill’s last newspaper, The Barrier Truth. After more than 125 years, they published their final edition in April.

A piece of research by Pew that takes a look at American’s local news consumption habits. While a large majority say they value local news, only 15% have paid for it in the last year.
Finally, we’ve recommended Galah a few times on the podcast and often gift it to friends and family. Sign up here, and you’ll receive 3 issues delivered to your door.
