The Daily Issue
Award: Yellow Pencil
Yellow Pencil / Magazine & Newspaper Design / Special Issues / 2024
By September in 2023, 48000 news articles had been published on men’s violence against women in Australia. To highlight the epidemic we created ‘The Daily Issue’, a special edition newspaper that featured just 1% of these harrowing stories. Inside, we juxtaposed men's real reasons for inaction against the 500 articles. Not only educating men on the many forms of violence that women face everyday, but reminding them on the consequences of inaction. Distributed nationally to politicians, journalists & influencers we leveraged their influence to spread our message well beyond our $0 media budget.
What did the judges have to say?
The Daily Issue is a simple yet very powerful idea that transcends disciplines and categories. Holding this entry in my hands, feeling its weight and realising that this newspaper with 194 pages covers just 1% of 48,000 news articles reporting on violence against women, overwhelmed our Jury.
