WELCOME to citynews.com.au, the digital version of “CityNews” – a glossy magazine that’s all about Canberra every week.

Founded in 1993, “CityNews” magazine is the leader in marketing to affluent Canberrans. It is a quality, free, news and personality magazine that reaches and audited (CAB) 42,000 influential and affluent Canberra readers every week, of which 57 per cent are women. The cumulative, monthly readership is almost 80,000 unique, individual readers.

The magazine covers local events, politics and personalities. It has Canberra’s best-read social pages, and lifestyle section called “all about living”, which features arts news and reviews, fashion, body and home pages.

Its celebrity columnists cover politics, environment, sport and property issues. And it features the city’s best houses with pages and pages of high-quality property advertising and editorial.

Independent McNair* research has identified that 43 per cent of our readers earn more than $100,000 pa and 21 per cent earn $60,000 - $100,000, figures affirmed by knowing 33 per cent are professional or managerial and 24 per cent are employed in government or the public service.

These powerful and valuable demographics are sustained by distributing the magazine directly to the cream of Canberra’s most affluent (income, expenditure and wealth**) inner suburbs through professionally managed letterbox delivery and through a strategic network of baskets and bulk deliveries to more than 1000 outlets across Canberra, Queanbeyan, Jerrabomberra and as far afield as Cooma, Gundaroo and Bateman’s Bay.
