New publication to hit the streets tomorrow
The best of city retailing will be showcased in a new CBD magazine to hit Perth streets tomorrow. The Community Newspaper Group’s new publication, ishoperth, will be distributed to 25,000 central business district workers each Thursday from 3pm.
Full of fashion, style, events, bars, restaurants and local attractions, ishoperth holds importance for every demographic wanting to source the soul of Perth.
ishoperth manager Katie Hutton said: “Our readers enjoy life and work hard to achieve their goals. Whether they are enjoying our city’s great bars and nightlife, sampling our wonderful restaurants, shopping or travelling – ishoppers are constantly on the lookout for new experiences.”
ishoperth condenses the city’s best retail offerings in a 20 minute read focusing on fashion, lifestyle and technology. Edited by Journalist Beverly Ligman-Smith, ishoperth draws on contributions from a host of CNG writers and contributors including Tanya MacNaughton, Des Eddy, Max Veenhuysen and Belinda Cipriano. The magazine will also feature the latest social events in the city, harnessed by Anthony Von Leonhardi. Other sections include ifeel, ithink, i style, ilive, ieat, ispy and imakeup.
Printed on 52GSM stock and stitched and trimmed, the magazine’s compact design makes it easy for commuters looking to catch up on the city’s latest. Readers can pick up a copy from one of our many ishoperth samplers located throughout the CBD or find one in malls, shops, cafes, hotels and various retailers in the city.

Slow day ed?

Hats off to Communities. Cant wait have this mag in my hot little hands.
Cool – Perths been waiting for some more of this stuff. Hopefully it will provide an interesting read as well as being one big catalogue for CBD retailers.
Excellent. Can’t wait for this. I have lived in London and Melbourne, these things make the perfect read on the commute home on public transport.
“ishoperth condenses the city’s best retail offerings in a 20 minute read focusing on fashion, lifestyle and technology.”
Shouldn’t that be “expands”?
News Ltd didn’t seize the opportunity to launch MX in Perth (similar to MX’s in Melbourne/Sydney/Brisbane) so publications like this have a free run at the Perth commuter market
I agree with the person who wrote the second,third and fourth comments.
If an Advertiser wants to reach me and my friends, put this bad boy on the media plan!
I’ve just thrown away my paperback in anticipation.
Anonymous ????? why didnt they just say Community news employee , really ?
This is probably the biggest thing to happen ever in Perth and will fundamentally change the way we live our lives. It’s up there with cures for cancer and global warming. Everyone I know has spoken of nothing else since the news broke. One friend has even had the words “ishopperth is just what Perth’s commuter community has been waiting for” tattooed onto her forehead. In fact, I just did a little bit of wee thinking about how different things are going to be. And before any negative types suggest it, NO I DON’T WORK AT COMMUNITY NEWS. I just frickin’ love advertising-funded retail and lifestyle commuter magazines.
3.49/4.00/4.44/9.25…
Did the boss all tell you to say something nice?
it’s a Community Newspaper Group publication 11.15.
Think a little harder before enlightening us with your knee-jerk comments.
Really.
What a joke. There aren’t enough retailing or entertainment options in Perth for a 20 min read. Who are they kidding? It’s a culinary and cultural wasteland of a hick town pretending to be a city. people used look at me with pity when I told them I lived in Perth.
I dunno about ishoperth, but these comments are a great read.
If they can get the read anywhere near as good as stylist.co.uk I will be happy.
I have had even had it delivered weekly to my house here.
The retail aspect is great however the articles are totally directed to my target audience. Check it out ishoperth..
