THEN AND NOW
On Dit The student voice lives on strong and proud through Australia’s third oldest student publication On Dit. STORY BY IMOGEN HINDSON, NONEE WALSH AND MICHAELA MCGRATH
P
ronounced on-dee, On Dit roughly translates to ‘they say.' Since replacing its precursor, the Varsity Ragge, as a two-page broadsheet in 1932, On Dit has expanded to become the primary vehicle for the University of Adelaide’s student voice. As the third-oldest student publication in Australia, the magazine boasts an impressive calibre of past editors and contributors, including Clementine Ford, Annabel Crabb and Julia Gillard. Other alumni to etch their name in On Dit history are Nonee Walsh and Imogen Hindson. The former, a Bachelor of Arts alumna, and the latter, a passionate media and law student. We take a look at their time editing On Dit.
