About Monitor Online

Welcome to the online version of Monitor, the newspaper of the University of Canberra. Previously, Monitor was a 12-page tabloid newspaper published about twice a month during semester. The more timeless features were also posted on the website.

Student and academic demand and a desire and need to provide information and features more often and with more flexible sizes and media led to the development of Monitor Online in 2005 .

The website is updated weekly during term time and fortnightly during the holidays.

The savings on printing and distribution are now dedicated to producing a twice-yearly magazine.

What if I want a printed version of a page?

If you prefer to read a story in hard copy, you'll like the fact that we've formatted this site to print on A4 width paper.

For example, in Internet Explorer, click File -> Print. If the whole width of page does not print, check the default page setup (File -> Page Setup) and reduce the margins. Test it out on page preview.

What's with the logo?

For enquiring minds, our lizard logo, is based on the Monitor (Lizard) or common name for a genus of lizards, called goannas including the largest living lizard, the Komodo dragon.

According to Microsoft Encarta, monitors live in tropical and desert areas throughout Africa, in Asia from Arabia to southern China and Malaysia, and in the East Indies and Australia. There are about 30 species in the genus, ranging from 20 cm to 3 m (8 in to 10 ft) in length. They all have a long, forked tongue. They can engulf large prey and swallowing it whole.
