A collaborative magazine with roots in the Northern Rivers of New South Wales, Australia. Every month you will hear from our collective on stories of intrigue, peculiarity, ecology, creativity, thrill--you name the worm hole; we want to nestle ourselves at the crux of it.
Started by two print-obsessed friends, our man on the moon is the malleable printed mag. The smell of freshly pressed ink, the ability to thrash it on long journeys or treasure it on an antique table, the grain of printed photographs on your fingertips-- this is our kryptonite. Valuing the access and easability that digital journalism has brought to our field, Northern Rivers Independent Press is a merging of the two. Our first annual printed mag will be distributed at the tailend of 2025. Story is our greatest muse, and the spine of this magazine is only as strong as the voices that document it.
For n.rip, collaboration is key, as are our subjects and the stories we follow. Accuracy is our top priority, and upholding the values of journalistic integrity is imperitive to our process. We work with mindful contributions to our environment and wider society, and would be honored to discuss how businesses, start-ups, individuals and organisations may be a part of that.
Creating space to exhibit art, froth on each others’ company, and drink wicked whiskey, is something we are inclined to do often. As our growing collective continues to expand, likewise will our celebrations. If you are advertising or partnering up with us, there will be plenty of launches and print releases to be a part of.
Northern Rivers Independent Press operates on the unceded lands of the Bundjalung Arakwal people, the Minjungbal people and the Widjabul Wia-bal people.
We acknowledge these custodians, and the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia. We pay our respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, and to Elders both past and present. We recognise the continuing connection to lands, waters, skies, communities and stories.
