Meanjin has a highly engaged subscriber base, here and overseas. It gets tonnes of subs every time it opens them (often and for free). It's works are on university reading lists. It's a signal achievement for a writer to appear in its pages. The value lost for the uni (and us) is huge.
Exclusive: Australia’s second-oldest literary journal, Meanjin, is being shut down today for "financial" reasons, Crikey can reveal.
Literary journal Meanjin to close after 85 years of publishing

Under the rules of war, parties to conflicts cannot use starvation of civilians as a method of warfare.
This includes depriving them of food, water, or other essentials needed to survive, even if it does not lead to death but causes suffering.
