In the Media

Since our launch in July 2024, About Time has generated a significant amount of media attention.

We are pleased to have been featured in, and interviewed by, a range of large Australian publications across print, radio, podcast and television.

The reception has been enthusiastic, with a diverse range of outlets eager to share the potential impact of a national prison newspaper in Australia.
