City Standard told really bloody good stories.
Hello, goodbye
City Standard was created by a structured mess of local people who believe in the importance of stories.
Publisher Joshua Fanning, writer + editor Farrin Foster, and creative director Tyrone Ormsby developed City Standard as a new way to bring together communities and their storytellers.
It’s over now, but it was good while it lasted. In the year City Standard operated, its community of 250 people worked together to pitch, develop, and fund 12 bloody good local stories. They are now public.
