The Northern Quarterly

The Northern Quarterly is a free community magazine dedicated to telling the stories of Manchester’s Northern Quarter. Created as part of my final MA Multimedia Journalism project, the magazine explores the neighbourhood’s culture, creativity, and evolving identity through local voices and perspectives.

Each issue brings together features, interviews, and community-driven stories that reflect the Northern Quarter’s independent spirit — from grassroots initiatives and social issues to arts, food, and nightlife. Designed to be accessible and collaborative, the magazine celebrates one of Manchester’s most vibrant districts while offering a platform for connection and conversation.
