Otago student magazine destroyed over 'objectionable' cover

From Morning Report, 6:47 am on 23 May 2018

Otago University has removed and destroyed hundreds of copies of the student magazine Critic, after it deemed the cover of this week's issue to be objectionable. The cover depicts a cartoon image of a naked person in a bathroom, with their legs spread and thumbs up, menstruating. While student media is known for courting controversy, the magazine's editor is accusing the university of censorship.
