Metior Magazine is a student newspaper published at Murdoch University in Perth, Western Australia. The magazine is published by the Murdoch University Guild of Students. The name is an acronym for "Murdoch Empire Telegram Indian Ocean Review". Metior is a publication that supports upcoming artists, musicians, photographers, designers, writers and students, providing them with a platform to publicly express themselves and make people aware of what they are doing. Metior sticks behind young people who are doing great things or are in leadership roles in their community, supporting the people of tomorrow, today! It provides an outlet for people wanting and deserving recognition and a public space, that have not been given the chance previously. So far Metior has teamed up with local organizations and businesses to spread the word about events, trends and general goings on, however we would like to develop these relationships further so that both parties benefit. Metior recognizes issues affecting young people and educates other members of the community about them, in order to encourage change. It is a publication that has taken on board young people of varying skills, from varying backgrounds and institutions as its editorial team, which allows for a diversity of perspectives and ideas about the entirety of Metior.

History

Art of Shoplifting controversy

In 1995, Metior reprinted a controversial article from Rabelais Student Media, its La Trobe University counterpart, entitled The Art of Shoplifting – one of seven student newspapers to do so. Although the Rabelais editors responsible for the original article were prosecuted for ignoring a ban on publication issued by the state's Chief Censor; the editors of the other seven newspapers were not targeted by the authorities. Charges against the Rabelais editors were later dropped.^[1]

Voluntary student unionism

The implementation of voluntary student unionism in 2006 had a significant impact on the viability of student newspapers across Australia, compulsory student union membership fees having been the major source of income for most, however Metior was not affected.
