Esther Anatolitis, Editor of Meanjin, today reveals the venerable journal’s new design and editorial approach.

‘Meanjin Winter 2023 marks a new direction for the journal,’ said Esther. ‘It’s the first edition to reframe The Meanjin Paper as a piece by a First Nations Elder that greets us the moment we sit down to read. It’s the first to introduce new sections that assess the state of the nation, welcome experiments, and cast a long gaze across one particular field. And it’s the first by new designer Stephen Banham, the internationally renowned typographer who has dedicated his career to creating a distinctly Australian graphic design language.’
