QNews is a leading LGBTQ+ media outlet based in Brisbane, dedicated to informing and supporting queer communities across Australia. Since its founding in December 2000, QNews has been a trusted source of news, opinion, and culture, covering issues that matter to LGBTQ+ Australians. Originally launched as a fortnightly newspaper, QNews evolved into a magazine format in 2005 and later expanded its digital presence to reach a wider audience. Over the years, it has played a vital role in amplifying LGBTQ+ voices, advocating for equality, and celebrating queer culture. From in-depth reporting on politics and health to entertainment and community stories, QNews provides a platform for diverse perspectives. The publication has undergone several changes in ownership, with Queensland businessman Richard Bakker acquiring it in 2015. In 2018, Destiny Rogers was appointed managing editor, making history as the first openly transgender person in this role at an Australian publication. Today, QNews continues to deliver high-quality journalism, fostering a sense of connection and representation within LGBTQ+ communities. With its strong print and digital presence, it remains a vital voice for queer Australians, ensuring that their stories and issues are heard.
