This November will mark 50 years since TOPIC magazine hit the streets for the first time. In our half-century, we’ve covered all the highs and lows of a region steeped in stories. From county finals to political battles, Joe Dolan to Niall Horan, we’ve given you our independent perspective on events every week.

Now, as we prepare for our birthday milestone, we'd love to hear what you value most about The Topic, how you came to read it, and what you'd like to see in the next 50 years of local journalism. Or, feel free just to send a birthday greeting!

We look forward to hearing you you!
