Adelaide's Rip It Up Street Mag Now A Digital Title

Staff Writer

After 25 years on the street, RIU is now online only

Adelaide's long-running streetpaper Rip It Up has announced its intention to go completely online as it celebrates its 25th anniversary.

A statement released this weekend trumpeted the news that the title would become a digital-only platform following the release of its final print edition on Thursday 17 April.

First published in 1989, RIU will have produced 1,286 editions by its final print week. A RIU website has run in conjunction with the paper for some years now - it will now be the flagship platform for the title.
