Multicultural Sydney: covering the city as it actually is
Multicultural Sydney is not a single beat. It runs through every story, from transport to food to school holidays.

Sydney is one of the most multicultural cities in the world. That fact does not belong in a single section. It runs through how people commute, how high streets are built, how food culture evolves, how schools work and how community sport is organised.
Good local coverage reflects that. It treats the languages spoken at home, the festivals that fill the calendar and the businesses that anchor suburbs as normal parts of city life, not as exotic add-ons.
It also takes seriously the responsibility to listen to communities, particularly when stories are being told about them rather than with them.
Our newsroom approach is to thread multicultural Sydney through every beat, not to fence it off.
From the desk. Sydney and Surrounds is a practical local newsroom for Greater Sydney. If there is something in your suburb that deserves more attention, we would like to hear about it.
