About
CANTA Magazine is a magazine. It has pages made of paper with ink imprinted upon them. Sometimes people read these pages. Sometimes people do not. We don’t like the latter group, but that’s okay, because they’re not reading this.
For 727 years, CANTA Magazine has been providing the students of the University of Canterbury (and previously, the Milton Womens’ Needlework Academy) with award-winning* student journalism of the highest quality, and other stuff of vague entertainment value.
(* We are the proud recipients of 47 Pulitzer Prizes, 12 Qantas Media Awards, the Nobel Prize for Chemistry 1963, and the Takapuna Rotary Club award for best freestyle kickboxing team 1973 through 1984. Most importantly, we won Best Small Publication at the Aotearoa Student Press Association Awards (First Equal) in 2008.)
You can pick CANTA up for free — free – on newsstands around the University of Canterbury campus every Monday morning, assuming the delivery person wakes up on time. You can also read it for free online on Wednesday. We won’t give you the website address; you’re just going to have to track it down for yourself.
CANTA Magazine. Because it’s not like you have anything better to do in your Monday morning lecture.
