Archer is an Australian print publication about sexuality, gender and identity. It is published twice-yearly in Melbourne, Australia. The magazine was founded by Amy Middleton, the founding publisher.[1]
The magazine has covered taboo topics such as sex and ageing in 2015[2] and been the subject of controversy over editorial choices such as including a photo of an exposed nipple in 2017.[3] One of its distributors deemed it "inappropriate for sale"[4] and its founding editor, Middleton, speaks publicly about censorship and online abuse.[5]
In 2016, Archer won a UN Media Peace Prize from the United Nations Association of Australia, for its depiction of older persons in the AGEING issue.[6] In 2014, the magazine won the Media Award category in Australia's Honour Awards, an annual event that recognises achievements within or contributions to NSW's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) community.[1] It has also received the LGBTI Honour Award, a finalist place for Publishers Australia Magazine Launch of the Year, and a nomination for the UN Human Rights Medal.[clarification needed][7]
In 2021, Archer was acquired by Drummond Street Services, a not-for-profit community service organisation with a focus on supporting LGBTIQA+ people experiencing hardship.[8]
Archer has published 16 print editions since launching in 2013.[when?]
